[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound very jealous![/quote]

OP here.  Perhaps I do. Maybe my feelings are telling me to fire her, quit my job and enjoy time with my youngest?  Or maybe better boundaries solves this problem.  Again, we've had several nannies and never had this dynamic before. [/quote]

what kind of boundaries, exactly? are you going to tell her she can’t talk to parents at school pickups?

OP are you under anxiety and stress in some other part of your life? Because your nanny sounds totally normal, but you are focused on her behavior in a hostile way that does not seem merited. When that happens to me, usually it’s because I am stressed for some other reason. [/quote]

You're probably right.  I've worked with nannies for over a decade now and never felt like a nanny was trying to creep into my role as a mother before.  It's never bothered me that they coordinate a play date.  This one doesn't have many friends of her own and isn't close to her own family and the situation just feels off to me.  I don't have any external, new anxiety in my life right now, other than maybe realizing my kids are growing up fast and wanting a stronger connection with my youngest.  No issues with stay at home moms either.  I just found a career I enjoy so I never had a strong desire to leave it.  [/quote]

"Doesn't have friends of her own..."  You knew every parent, AP and nanny for your child's friends and every other child in every class in your child's school, every activity, at every playground...  You are sounding more and more unreasonable, OP.  The likelihood is that the nanny, in the course of her JOB has made many friends before you ever heard about them, IF you ever heard about them.[/quote]
