Nannies make you cheat?

I heard on the news this morning that little boys raised by both a mother and a nanny are more likely to cheat on the women in their lives.

I don't know if I believe it or not. They said it is because at such a young age these boys are used to having two women in their lives that supply different needs, they don't see a problem with it when they become adults. I can see what they're trying to say, but I don't think this is necessarily true in all cases. Working moms have to depend on childcare for their children, but most spend as much time and love on their children as possible.

Are they saying then, that a young boy at a daycare surrounded by many women has a higher chance of having multiple women in his life as an adult? I don't fully buy it, but whatever. They did say, however, that I was safe because girls have a much different relationship with their mothers than boys do.

I leave you humming "Your Cheating Heart."

  1. A nanny: is a mom-away-from-mom. When mom cannot be available, a nanny is there for the children. A nanny loves unconditionally. She kisses ouchies, encourages intellectual, emotional and social development; and provides a safe space for the children. She does all the things that the mother would do if the mother were available. Thus, she too plays a pivotal role in shaping who the children become. http://www.nannies4hire.com
