12703045, I disagree. I think it's the norm based on my experiences and the people

around me. I think it will be present more times than not.

Even if there are ways to address I don't think that means that it isn't commonplace.

I also don't buy the notion that it boils down to what's effective. A mother and a nanny aren't equals and I don't think the best idea or most effective idea prevails.

For one, there usually isn't a best way to do things when it comes to raising kids. There are tons of ways to skin a cat and alot comes down to preferences.

If it comes down to preference then the parents way usually and should prevail.

Are you really having extended back and forth's with your nanny about the best way to raise your kids?

I don't think it's my way or the highway but again, parents and nannies aren't equals when it comes to child rearing practices.
