Economics and the mid-life crisis have much in common: Both dwell on foregone opportunities

That's MISTER Nanny to You

Laraandjacob

I will be visiting Houston for the next little while, acting as a nanny /housekeeper for our granddaughter while my son and his wife go back to work/school. We're delighted to be able to help out.

This is our 5th granddaughter and our first opportunity to be nanny-temps. There are so many relatives around here, where our other children and granddaughters live, and Canadian parental leave is so generous [the U.S. does not provide a year of parental leave as Canada does], that none of the grandparents actually moved in to help out with the others.

I'll be there for awhile; then Ms. Eclectic will take over from me. Later in the summer and fall other grandparents will take a shift.

How much blogging I do depends on how much she sleeps during the day while I'm supposed to be looking after her ...

I barely resisted asking about the Facebook status you had at one time, related to this!

If you read to her, don't go for Snow-white and the 7 dwarfs, pack a copy of the Undercover Economist. The kid needs to find out about market power and rents sooner or later! :-)

I vote for I, Pencil. Heck, while you're at it, create a new line of books like I, Barbie and I, Gerber crushed peas.

Bring along a copy of Buchanan's "Cost and Choice", for when the little cutie won't sleep!
