No. With a "great public school," your NYC kids will have advantages that their suburban counterparts won't.

There probably are, but this test doesn't actually measure 'giftedness' or "talent," rather aptitude. Different IMO.

Actually, there ARE that many G&T kids in NYC. Bright parents "Tend" to have bright kids. Just because you don't buy into better education, don't hate on folks that do.

Sometimes they don't flatter the ass. This may gross some people out, but I go commando with a tampon. Even if it is not that time of month. I don't do this too often though. But sometimes, it works perfectly.

That's an excellent question and I don't even remember when I signed up or why. Feels like I've been getting them forever. On the other hand, I don't have many sources for recipes using the dust of poor people and Fiji water, so I probably should keep on keeping on. :)

chicken, avocado always (i need it to make the salad interesting), shallots, beans (chickpeas or black beans), shredded carrots. I'm a sucker for cheese too. If i'm at home, i'll often make a yogurt dressing so I feel like it's a creamy dressing but it's actually healthy.

why? actually when we discussed initially (verbally, not written), she said we would take vacation when we do. We generally take at least 3 weeks so it's a good deal and if she needs a day off here and there, it's no issue. Last week, she took an extra week and we did not pay. This time b/c it's family-related i feel a little weird, but it's NOT a tragedy (instead, a happy event) and 2 weeks is a lot of time so clearly difficult for us (we both work) and i'm very conflicted.

You need to talk to her now - say 2 or 3 weeks paid vacation and that's it.

Do you expect her to take vacation only when you are on vacation? I don't have a nanny but somehow it seems unfair that you would get to decide the two weeks she is allowed to take vacation. I would think you would pay her on days when she is scheduled and avail ale even if you don't need her, unless you consider her an hourly employee. In that case, no paid vacation anyway.

that is what SHE suggested to us initially which is really great. She is very flexible with her schedule which was very important to us. I have always been flexible with days off here and there (and don't make her make up the time), but 2 weeks is a long period especially when we are also likely to take that amount this summer alone.

np. Seems like yo have a good relationship with her, why don't you sit down and come up with the vacation policy? Like a post-nup.

if you value her flexibility, you should mirror that. Although I think if you're both working and you have to make alternate child care plans, then you don't have to pay.

i do mirror it -- if you needs the AM off or to leave early, or even full days here and there, I always give it. but yes, we are both working and need alternate plans for this period.

np. I think that you need to tell her exactly how many days she has of vacation. Stipulate that at least 5 days of that has to coincide with your vacations - my employer (I'm not a nanny) does this, and I have to take between Christmas and New Years off. So when you're on vacation and she's out of vacation days, lend her out to a friend or make her organize dc's closet or something.

thanks. That's what i was thinking, just needed to hear it from someone else. I don't think she necessarily expects more but we just never had the conversation this time around.

This issue isn't the number of weeks of vaction, it's the timing. She should be able to take vacation when she wants. Or as most people do, they spell it out, usually one week of her choice and one week of your choice. Convince yourself you are being fair if you want, but you aren't. Your choice to take vacation at a different time than the nanny.

She gets more vacation than most people and it was her suggestion (not ours) to take vacation when we do b/c she does not have many obligations outside of work so can be flexible. I would not have suggested this set up otherwise, and would have probably done the 1 week us/1 week you but since it was her suggestion and technically she gets more time this way, i did not argue it. Convince YOURSELF that i'm being cruel all you want, but our relationship isn't like that. Also, if this was one week, i'd probably let it go, but it's 2 weeks. If i could have moved my vacation to coincide with this time, i would have, but i can't because of work obligations.

I think when she talked to you about her two weeks with family, you should have said something. That is rather a long vacation for her to take when you're not going to be away, especially when she had previously agreed (verbally) to take vacation when you do. That said, if she's been with you for awhile and this is likely a one time thing, I'd just pay her.

Unless you have agreed for paid vacation time you do not need to pay her. We offer our nanny one weeks paid vacation per year, anything over that is unpaid.

Yes, but many parents here would say that their high iq kids did not get in because too many Asian prepped for the test.

Hunter kids probably have the highest IQ scores (b/c school selects based on scores, and it gets first dibs, earlier than stuyvesant). It's not the 'best' school, though. I hope you realize that how 'good' a school is may possibly have something to do with teachers, facility, and curriculum. Hunter's charm is that it's free and is branded as elite. But your better private schools are probably, objectively, at least as 'good', educationally, as Hunter. Just not as selective.

np - The problem with Hunter is that there are kids who get in young who, in the end, don't belong there as much as some who get shut out. But it doesn't really matter all that much.

I went to Hunter and my DF went to Brearley and I can say definitively that she had a better MS and HS education. I did, however, enjoy more pressure, homework, and lousy teachers.
