[ - ] WOHMS how many nannies have you had? we are about to lose our 3rd...first one left to pursue a nursing career. second one was only with us for 3 months because she kept calling out sick and we finally had to let her go and now #3 is saying she doesn't want to work the hours. we are going to have a #2 and will need her from 8-6 and she doesn't want to work that long. UGH! 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

check the schools message board (I don't mean on here but at local school). I keep seeing postings of families looking for new placement of their nanny that they have to let go since the kids are in school now. GL [ Reply | More

8-6 is pretty normal hours (from the working moms I know). Some even have nannies 8-7pm. If you state the hours up front, you should be fine [ Reply | More

I posted earlier but - Our story is the kind I always scoffed at - he was literally the boy next door, we were best friends until girls had cooties and we drifted apart. I always held on to the idea of spending my life with him far in the back of my head which I think is the reason I never had any serious relationships until he and I finally got together during my senior year of college. I only had one serious girlfriend before we dated. We know have two beautiful boys and a girl on the way! [ Reply | More

We met at Home Depot. I was trying to reach a showerhead that was about two feet too high for my 4'11" frame and this 6'0" tall monster of a man comes over and hands it to me and offers to carry my basket to the register for me. We walked out of the store together and I don't know why, but I gave him my business card and told him to call me. [ Reply | More

I met dh while on vacation in Mexico. I met him on the first night but didn't pay attn to him. I went to a different club/lounge every night in this resort town and he was at that same club/lounge. On day 4 of my trip and after seeing him nightly, I finally gave up and sat down and spoke to him. He was so nice and funny. He was also very honest (he was with a diff. girl every day I saw him). I liked his honesty and when he asked for my number (we were both from NYC) I said sure but only as friends. I just got out of a 4yr relationship 6mo prior and wasn't looking for another. The day I got back from Mexico, he called and we have been together every since (16yr ago this month) [ Reply | More
