[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like they are relying on you to help, but not really letting you be in charge. We have a full time nanny and work from home and have learned that it has to be very clear to the children who is in charge. It simply does not work for all of us to be together at once-the kids end up acting out very badly. So when the nanny is here, we don’t come out of our office. If for some reason we must, if the kids ask for something, we don’t engage and redirect them to the nanny. We don’t even attempt things like outings with the kids and the nanny together-the kids won’t accept the nannys authority if we are there. I would boundary set with your sibling. Only take one kid out at a time and not to your house. If they need childcare, they need to figure that out themselves. Then you can just focus on being the fun aunt. [/quote]
