[quote=Anonymous]Sadly, I think the other posters are right, OP. You’ve got to draw a firm boundary and hold it. That’s what we do - we say goodbye to the kids in the morning and they don’t see us until 5pm, even though we’re right downstairs. The only two things that might be worth a try: 1) a set time when you come out and spend time with them each day, coordinated with the nanny and consistent. 2) if your kids are older (elementary age) you could try some kind of visit limit. Like, maybe each week, each kid get a special ticket (laminated piece of paper?) that they can “spend” to go visit mom once that week. I’ve heard of parents who do something like this for bedtime requests with some success. You def can’t limit by topic/value/emotional resonance (too grey) but a number of visits limit might have the kids do that naturally. Might be worth a shot! [/quote]
