Parent Alert! Children are locked up in the basement by an evil nanny... Mom where are you?!
This is not a Hollywood spiel. It's an actual shrill from a 5- year old boy. He was left alone in the dark, almost about to faint. He's sweating fiercely but tears are starting to run dry. There's no light, and no hope of finding his mommy. He closed his eyes, tried to think clearly, and said "mommy will be here soon!".
Those are the horrid revelations of my past. Every day, my mommy goes to work and I'm all alone with the evil nanny. She hits me and she yells at me. All I could do is cringe in my little corner.
Why didn't I tell mommy? Because she wasn't there, she didn't even bother to care. I was muffled by fear and all the more gagged by nanny's sneer. Until I was 7, and I didn't need her anymore, my nanny left me and even if I hail, mommy should be ashamed.
I grew up bullied by boys in school. I really don't mind, but I blamed mommy. I grew up building walls away from her, blocking every love, every move. It was too late, where was she when I squealed?
It was only after my 18th birthday when I'm
ready to leave and live on my own that I told her about my story. She cried but I cannot hide. I poured it all out and left her none.
Years have passed before we moved on. I have a kid now, a loving boy. Though he has a nanny, I still find time to be with my son. Nanny are no robots, programmed for your child's care.
I know not all nannies are bad, but parents should always be there.
Child care is not about relief from parent's share. It's some help you could afford. While some nannies are good, nothing can still compare to the care of the parents.
