You have children who behave so well with the babysitter that they go to bed on their own and don’t make a sound. And you have children like Manon’s (35).

Manon (35) lives together and is mother of Milan (7) and Feline (6 months).

“My boyfriend and I went out for a night and brought Feline, then a month old, because she was breastfed. She was that easy and would sleep in the car all night, we knew. That way we could have a nice meal. For Milan we had arranged our nanny Nina (14), something he normally likes a lot.

I especially felt bad for Nina, who had felt so powerless.”
