For some of us, having our hearts ripped out and eaten by cannibals would be better than leaving our children with relative strangers when we return to work after parental leave. Others, however, do a happy dance all the way to the car, envisioning an entire workday without wiping snot, poop, and other bodily liquids from the wall, their clothes, and various parts of their child's body.

Regardless, when you gotta work, you gotta to work. You know what I'm sayin'?

This week on I Shouldn't Have Had Kids meet the Scottish nanny from hell, the remarkable Molly Poppins who might as well have arrived on our doorstep by umbrella, and a short-lived nanny who actually lost Lola. It's enough to make a parent re-think working!
