[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t even know what “boundaries” would look like here- “please don’t talk to other parents in the dance waiting room?”[/quote]

“Please don’t accept any birthday invitations.”
“Please don’t make any play dates for Larla.”
“Please don’t speak to any of the other parents.”

Then I want you to come back to us and report back if she’ll be available for you on those spur of the moment late nights that you seem to enjoy. Or if she’s going to stay late when you have something to do after work.[/quote]

OP.  I don't use her for "spur of the moment late nights".  I plan things out in advance and part it was part of the job description.  Never goes over 40 hours.  Look, I've never had a nanny get birthday party invites directly or gossip with my neighbors and have it get back to me.  I've had another nanny who did a great job with playdates and I appreciated it.  This one is different.  Apparently giving more facts is considered "trolling" and the fact that I am annoyed with the way she has inserted herself into my life makes me seem "unhinged".  I am leaning more toward just finding a new nanny and also cutting back on work.  I've never felt like this before and something is off here.   I can't tie it to anything else going on in my life right now.  Maybe it's simply a personality conflict.  [/quote]

So you’re going to to rip a loving person out of your kid’s life because you can’t manage your mind?

I’ve been on both sides. I used to feel same about my nanny, but I KNEW it was my problem. She was fantastic, and I’m not a total idiot. We should be so lucky to have competent, caring people look after our kids.

I’ve also been SAHM and it is quite common to make playdates with the nanny. I also knew most of the moms. You’re being unreasonable on this front. Re what she said - we don’t know what it is and it seems like you’re grasping for one last mail for her coffin.  [/quote]
Only a woman could write this. A nanny is an employee, you do not “rip a loving person” out of a contract. Only a woman would insist an insecure mother who feels sad about her last child and uncomfortable around an encroaching employee shut up and pay this nanny to continue. I swear some women will light themselves on fire in an effort to preserve the illusion that they are just towards all.[/quote]
