Guest Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Try leaving it out on the pavement. They can't miss it that way. Watch out for the Foxes Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/148-rubish-rubish/#findComment-2023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulwichmum Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Dear Bob,Yes the service is not what it could be. If you are expecting them to ring your bell and help you remove it from your kitchen, you are out of luck sweetie. Get yourself an au pair, she will wheel it out to your garden gate and everything!

Guest Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 "Dear" DulwichMumI would have an Au Pair - if I had kids. To be honest, I would prefer a nanny. I wouldn't want them doing jobs like that though, I believe if I make a mess I should clean it up. My Mum however, will not back this up.

dulwichmum Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Dear Dany,You are right. A nanny however is incredibly expensive, and I suppose they should be, because they do the most difficult job ever - in my opinion. I have never worked so hard in my life as when I was at home with the children full-time.We have a lovely au pair, and she doesn't take out the bins either, my husband does it.

Guest Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I believe nanny's actually have to tutor and teach as well? I would love to stay at home and bring up my children. I would prefer it to work. It's a no contest really. Going to the bus stop and standing with miserable East Dulwich people (who never smile) OR walking the kids to the local school followed by 6 hours of daytime TV and a possible afternoon nap.

dulwichmum Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Dear Dany,I am afraid I never heard of the tutoring business you describe - that would be ideal. There is actually no professional register at all for nannies, and therefor no set minimum qualifications. I had an idylic idea of what raising children would be like, and like yourself imagined lolling about at home a lot, and arranging cushions on the sofa while watching Richard and Judy, but it actually turned our to be terribly hard. I ran back to work! Just getting them to school age (never mind out the door to school of a morning) is so difficult I could just cry at times. I thought I loved babies, but now I realise, I really just love it when they are cheekey and a little bit more independent. God it is hard work, and I have so much respect for stay at home parents - it certainly is not an easy job.I like smiling at miserable people in the street, I do it all the time - try it, it really shocks them. I don't see that many misery guts on Lordship Lane though, I must admit. Come to the Village - now that is a different story!

Guest Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 DulwichmumPoint taken - but I still feel screaming from the kids is more managable than screaming from the boss - now that makes me cry!I used to try and smile but gave up after people started giving me odd looks. Dulwich Village is a bit better, more of a neighbourly feeling there like the countryside villages.

dulwichmum Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Dear Dany,Perhaps, but look closely, and a lot of it is superficial. People are afraid to let the facade down, if you see what I mean. It can be less than honest. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/148-rubish-rubish/#findComment-2135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Dulwichmum If I could aford a Au Pair she would wear a small black dress with a white apron she would have many duties one would not be wheeling my bin but more enjoyed tasks.bob s Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/148-rubish-rubish/#findComment-2136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulwichmum Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 My dear Bob s,I fear it is not an 'au pair' you are looking for! The job description sounds a little like a French maid, but perhaps a little more 'involved' shall we say?

Guest Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Well that is what I envisage married life to be. Well married life before kids. I don't believe in womanising or "having a bit on the side" and stuff like that. Neither do I believe in sex before marriage but thats another story...
