[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a nanny in her mid-thirties who never had kids of her own.  She's pretty good but not great.  We've had different nannies for 12 years now - she's better than most: she's almost always available when we need her for a later night or if we want to get away for an overnight trip she can do it.  My issue is that she's starting to insert herself into what should be "my" role as a mom - like she directly plans play dates and is getting birthday party invites directly from other parents for my youngest.  She sits around chatting with moms at school and extracurricular activities.  I'm starting to want to just fire her and stay home with my last kid.  I've never felt this way before.  I actually like-to-love my job that I've spent my entire life working to create.  I also hate the idea of becoming financially dependent on my spouse.  Our marriage is mostly good but we've had some trials.   I've just never felt this way about a nanny before, mostly because I've never had one who overstepped in this way.  I also feel like she's become overly attached to my youngest, like I have this fear of her running away with my child.  Again, never before in 12 years have I felt like this before.  
Am I being ridiculous here?  Any dealt with this?  [/quote]

I wish my nanny would be this social.  OP your kids are really benefiting from this - SAHMs don’t want to do play dates with Nannies. You have a rare one that they will.  It’s all about your kids and that is the best for them.  You can always take some random afternoons off and take your kid out.  [/quote]
