All of her recipes are on the foodnetwork.com. Often there's a video you can watch and also I find it helpful to read many of the reviews so you can avoid any pitfalls. Eg she always uses kosher salt and if you use the same quantity of table salt it can ruin the dish. I love ina! [ Reply | More

I wouldn't, and I'm a Democrat. It's not the sexting, it's that he did it within his first year of marriage, while his wife was pregnant with his first child. Reminds me of John Edwards cheating on his wife who had cancer. Sure, Weiner's wife says she has forgiven him, that's her right, but I think it proves he's a textbook narcissist, and that creeps me out. [ Reply | More

You can't store a pair of shoes in your desk somewhere? You can always carry them if you have to. Go to Orva on the UES, Harrys on the UWS and I don't know downtown and get a decent, structured pair of shoes with some support. Cole Haan and Kenneth Cole have good choices most seasons. You want something you CAN wear into a meeting if you have to, not necessarily something that makes your outfit shine. OR even LLBean really, they have some workable choices. [ Reply | More

You shouldn't be annoyed at all. But you learned something about yourself and you can use that to make yourself (and your nanny) happier. You just tell her you feel disconnected when you're at work all day and you wish you knew more of what was going on. Like what playgrounds they go to and who they have playdates with. Tell your nanny you'd appreciate a few texts throughout the day of what they're doing. and when she does text you, just reply very short with "thanks!" or "have fun!" or something positive. win-win [ Reply | More

np. Have you ever resolved a conflict with your nanny like this? Because I tend to cut and run when people annoy me; I admire people who can bounce back from issues with no hard feelings. [ Reply | More

I would say the mom was neurotic. OP provided a solution that allows OP to be informed, without insulting the nanny. I love when my nanny takes photos to send me throughout the day too. [ Reply | More

Texting while child is at a playground is asking childcare provider to spend more time playing with a mobile device than watching child. There are enough flaky moms out there texting while junior is dumping sand over another toddler's head. In any case, it sounds like the employee doesn't enjoy being micromanaged and nagged for every little detail which I would interpret as disinterest and/or resentment. Let her go. [ Reply | More

It would take less than a minute while the toddler or baby is in the stroller, or can be done on the elevator with older children. I mean, that OP needs to live a little, but it is nice to know what your kid is doing when you are away. [ Reply | More

Well, it takes less than a minute for a child to have a major accident. Asking a childcare provider for the very young to pay attention to a little mobile device demonstrates that the child is of lesser priority than the mother's need to micromanage. Honestly, it takes more than a minute to text. I've seen texting moms almost crash their strollers into innocent pedestrians, some of them elderly - and they don't even bother to apologize they are so stuck at looking at their phones.

Actually, I'm not nagged nor micromanaged. I'm the one bugging my bosses to push things forward and they expect me to. [ Reply | More

I think Christine Quinn is fantastic.(she is council lead for my district so I have a ton of exposure to her and it is really really good,) But much as I hate to say it think I may have to go with lihota (sp)? The ex mta guy because I think he might run a tighter fiscal ship and bust the unions and general city bs more. Taxes really can't go any higher... [ Reply | More

Quinn is an egomaniac gas bag. She doesn't get anything done. I'm very involved with our community board and everyone feels the same way. [ Reply | More
