This I Believe

I believe that parents need to spend more time with their children. As a nanny I see this far too many times where families are too busy to take time to spend with their own children. Instead of spending the time they have with their children they hire me or a nanny to take care and play with their children. I see these children crave the attention from their parents but their parents are too caught up in their busy life to pay attention to them. One experience I had was working with newborn twins. The parents seemed like it was a chore to have them. I would get them at 9 in the morning and stay till 6 or 7 at night and when the parents came home they would say hi to me and then go to the office and start doing work again. Often times they would not ask how the boys were or even come and give them a kiss and say hi. Yes I do love being a nanny but when I see parents^R not taking the time to spend with their children it breaks my heart.
