[quote=Anonymous]I’m on maternity leave with #3 and our nanny is making it very clear she resents I’m not taking over and relieving her early when I could. I’m staying out of her way and not making her job more difficult but if I’m around at all she starts hinting that she’d like to go for some random reason or another.  In normal times she gets the kids dinner ready and cleans up from the day - now if it seems like I’m with all 3 kids she starts packing up to leave without doing these things or staying until her set leave time.  I pay her for her full hours (and she clearly expects that) so I want life to be easier - I want her to continue getting the kids dinner ready and picking up and being a helping hand until her set leave time.  I don’t know when the 2wk old will need to eat so just bc ive seem to “have it” for a bit, doesn’t mean I want to take over everything for the rest of the day.  Suggestions on how to make this clear? I feel like we were both extremely accommodating of each other during covid (she continued coming when she could have said she was too nervous too - i have her tons and tons of extra pto for random reasons and never once questioned it) and we haven’t shifted back to a more equitable / stable dynamic

Also before anyone says my being around is making her job harder - it’s not and we have talked about it.  When I have all 3, I really do, I just want her to stay around until her paid until time so she can take care of the other kid related tasks and be backup if baby goes to hell
