Knowing Nothing About Parenting, Yet Seeing More Than The Average Parent
By Elizabeth.Hawksworth on September 04, 2012
Since I became a nanny, I not only get a lot of people asking me questions about children and the care of children. I also get a lot of people sneering at me about how I know nothing about what it is to be a parent, and how dare I try to advise on anything to do with children and child-raising. This doesn't just apply to being a nanny, either. This applies to being a childless person in general.
Well. (And here I pause, crack my knuckles, and sigh. Well.)
I agree. I don't know what it's like to be a parent. I'm not one. I don't stay up all night with crying or sick children. I don't have to spend my entire life looking after a child – I do get breaks. I don't worry about money for kids' clothes, food and school supplies. I have never breastfed or birthed a child. I don't really know what it's like to have a child love you unconditionally and want you always, whatever you do, wherever you go. I don't know those things. And I am the first person to tell you that I have no idea what it's like to know those things.
But I don't know nothing. I could turn around and say, "You know nothing about what it's like to be a nanny." Because most don't. Most don't know the careful scheduling and planning I do with my day. How I worry when a child gets hurt, not only for the child, but because I live in fear of a false abuse accusation. That I think about my First Aid and CPR training constantly because I'm afraid I'll forget what I was taught with disuse. How I wonder if the child is eating enough and getting enough stimulation during the day. My guilt over sporadically using the TV. Wondering if I've said something wrong, or if I'm planning enough to do for the specific age group. Worrying about the child getting sick and then me getting sick, which means that I don't get paid. The list goes on. We all worry about whether or not we're "good enough". We often shake our heads about how other people seem to have it easier, out of ignorance or less work, but it doesn't mean those people know nothing about our situation.
I do, actually, know a lot about child development and behaviour. Sometimes it's more than the average new parent. I'm asked for my advice not because I know more than a parent, but because I've seen more than the average parent. I've worked with dozens of kids, all different ages, all different personalities, and all different cultural backgrounds. I've worked with at least five different parenting styles and a mishmash of those styles. I have seen what works for a specific child personality, and I've seen what doesn't work. I've just seen more. I have more hands-on experience.
People expect nannies to be like Supernanny on TV – charging in and advising whether you like it or not! But I don't actually ever share my experiences or advice unless I'm directly asked. I don't like to get unsolicited advice; who does? And my advice, while it can be tailored to your specific child if I know your child well, is mostly a one-size-fits-all option. It's not meant to work for everyone, and it won't. We're all different. We all have different opinions.
I'm tired of this culture where if you haven't lived an exact experience, you "know nothing" and need to "shut up". I think sharing advice, stories, commiserations, and more can help us all grow. Why do parents dislike childless people? Because they don't feel like childless people understand or can ever understand parents' situations. Why do childless people dislike parents? Because they feel demeaned, pushed aside and ridiculed.
Your childless friend may know nothing about kids besides what he or she has read or remembers from being a child. But maybe the thoughts that person has aren't too far off the mark for your specific issue. Unsolicited advice is no fun, but if you're venting, you're clearly wanting an audience if you don't want advice. And if you get some unwanted advice, all you have to do is say, "No, I don't think that will work, but thanks anyway!"
In order to foster more understanding, we need to collapse this cultural divide between the childless and the childed. That needs to come with mutual respect for each other's challenges and less downplaying of each other's feelings.
After all, we all "know nothing", really, about anyone's specific experience. But it doesn't mean that we might not have a suggestion that will help.
Just a few thoughts.

"Our parent company gave the directive, and said, we want the North American market to be the huge growth market for us. And they've invested several million dollars to help us do that - in equipment, with hiring people, and of course, innovation," Wardell said. "In leveraging their technology and established relationships in the automotive market, through Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, VW, Audi; these are all customers they've had for a while. We've won these contracts and we're building this equipment, and now we need the people to help us. We need people who are interested in more than just putting a switch together."
Some of the employees in Auburn Hills are in sales, but most of them are in development. They take the customer specs and turn that into the design that is built here. Because Marquardt is not as large as many competitive manufacturers, they are able to go from design to actual prototype quicker, and then on to sign a contract. With the automotive industry operating years in advance, contracts are already signed for 2008 and beyond.
"The next significant step we've taken in our product line is that we've gone from making these individual components, these switches that basically turn things on and off, to switch banks that have this two-way communication thing going on with the car," Wardell said. "Now we're getting into driver authorization systems, where it's a whole system. You have antennas, key fobs, the ignition module, passive entry start/stop button, where you don't have to even put a key in. Just get in, press a button. It starts the car and away we go."
Assemblage at Marquardt is a far cry from manufacturing in the past. They've recently purchased robots and tweaked them to do the jobs that were once done by human hands.

Porcelain Roses Keepsake Box
By: Linda Peterson
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This Porcelain Roses Keepsake Box from Linda Peterson looks like sometime your grandmother would have loved. You'll love the vintage feel of this home craft tutorial.
- Jar of choice
- Craft Porcelain air dry clay
- Clay shaper tool or metal knitting needle
- Tacky glue
- Decoupage medium
- Decorative paper
- Paint – color of choice
- Paintbrush
- Organza ribbon in color of choice
- Keep a moist towel nearby and wrap the extra clay inside to keep it from drying out.
- Dip your fingers in a glass of water to moisten the clay if it dries to the touch. Slightly moisten the areas to be joined. This allows a better bond. Do not bake, this tends to bring air bubbles to the surface and gives an undesirable effect.
- When preparing the jar, make sure the jar is clean. Paint or decoupage paper on the lid to cover over any undesirable wording. Allow to dry.
- To create the rose bud, roll ball the size of a pea. Flatten between fingers and stretch into a rectangle. Pinch one edge until thin and ruffled.
- Roll the clay from left to right forming a rose bud.
- To create the petals, flatten pea size balls between fingers and pinch edges to ruffle.
- Wrap these petals around the rosebud in a clockwise fashion. Repeat until the rose is as big as desired, using three to five petals. If needed, moisten the base of the petals slightly with water from fingertips to help attach the petals to rose.
- Repeat these steps using balls of various sizes to create various size roses. Set aside to dry approximately 2 hours.
- To create the leaves, shape a pea size ball into a teardrop and press flat. Draw a line down the center with a clay shaper or knitting needle.
- Then draw in vein marks.
- Fold at the base (rounded end) and press together. Set aside to dry approximately 2 hours.
- Arrange flowers and leaves onto lid. Secure them to the lid with tacky glue. Allow to dry completely.
- Wrap ribbon around neck of jar and tie a bow.
- Drop in various keepsakes or for a gift giving idea, fill with Tiffany Windsor's Secret Sugar scrub recipe.

Chamomile should be fine, assuming hay fever-type allergies don't run in your family. Chamomile is related to ragweed and is highly allergenic. If you think your baby may grow up and have seasonal allergies, I'd avoid chamomile. (In fact, I do avoid chamomile because of DH's ragweed allergies.)

Seriously, I have been trying to follow the directions on their site but its badly made and always sends me back to the support page, where i looked through it and could not find where i report someone. No freaking wonder people don't get banned too often since it's so annoying just to report someone.
But this guy really was annoying, using racism and then leeching in Fort Aspenwood.. i have a screenshot and i want to report him so i am just going to let Anet's annoying support page go and ask for directions here... so help is appreciated, and hopefully quick so i can get back to playing =/

DH and I offically entered into a new tax bracket in 2012. Since we both make commission + base pay I just didn't pay attention to the fact I should have lowered our witholdings, and now we will owe sort of a lot (based off my first shot at plugging everything into Turbo Tax, though I need a few more items to know the final tally). Well, at least I made some interest off that money before I had to give it back!
Anybody else dare venture down this dreaded path yet?
