Blog-o-fascism

I can't register at NYT, was there any specific thing that prompted the author to fire her nanny?

As I was reading the "Nanny Capers" I was thinking to myself, "If you don't want to know, don't read it!" Voyeurism, no matter in what form is still voyeurism. If you don't seem to have a problem with it, why make it a problem? And then to write about it in the newspaper??? Are you kidding me?!?! I'm very skeptical about writing a blog about what I actually want to write about for the same reasons, so I'm a little glad and VERY disappointed to find that I was right to worry. Found this after a little research... Poor kid http://daddytypes.com/archive/2005/07/16/should_you_read_the_nannys_blog.html

Good grief. No wonder she was fired. Her boss compared their lives and seems to find her own lacking. I particularly liked how her boss feels free to judge, but can't stand being judged in return. What a clam.

Ironically, had the nanny in question written the exact same words in her private offline diary, her employer would have never found out about it and would have never fired her. And yet she would have still the same person. Perhaps being hi-tech isn't always a blessing...
