[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here...yes, that is kind of how i felt, PP. [b]Even if my DC was "drop-off age," i don't think i would ever drop her off with the nanny, just out of respect for the nanny.[/b] I would stay and split the childcare job evenly between the two of us (and at least make sure that i take care of my own kids) for the time that my child is going to be there.[/quote]

So when your DC is 9, you will go sit there the whole time out of respect for the nanny?[/quote]

No but she should host the play date at her house sometimes just like you would if it was a mom.[/quote]

You (and the OP) don't know if that is the case.

I agree that the nanny should have been told, but you don't know who dropped the ball in that case. Drop off playdates are the norm past a certain age and are just part of the job. I'm sure that the 4 year old sometimes goes to a friend's house too (without the nanny). [/quote]

Yea - you would think right - you come to my house one day I go to your house another day. Sounds easy but moms think nanny's are "the help" and they just dump on them like they are being paid so why treat them with respect. It is a big issue, it's real, it exhists. The person that was the counselor or liaison for our aupair is trained to deal with this and when I explained she was like - you don't have to explain - happens all the time. She had a form email that gave us great ideas and options on how to deal with it. Met with our aupair to help her understand she is not to be treated like "help" it is okay to say something, etc. That is why I like the Aupair program because the supports put in place for the transition.[/quote]
