Mums all over the world, please take note - Baby boys who are brought up by nannies are more likely to turn into womanizers.

Child-rearing responsibilities can end up with a risk of equipping your son with life-long double standards when it comes to women, says Dr. Dennis Friedman in his book, The Unsolicited Gift.

Being brought up by nannies create a division in the child's mind between the woman he knows to be his natural mother and the woman with whom he has real hands-on relationship. The woman who bathes him and takes him to the park, and with whom he feels completely at one.

As a result, he grows up with the idea that although he will one day go through all the social and sexual formalities of marriage, he will have at the back of his mind the notion of this other woman, who not only knows, but caters for, all his needs.

In case of girls, if they have a nanny to look after them they will be filled with a "vacuum of need" inside them which they fill in a variety of ways such as drink, drugs, sex or money.
