[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your overestimate the appeal to a preschooler of two hours of walking/biking/scootering the same paths with just her nanny to keep her company every day for weeks on end.[/quote]

I'm not OP and we get the preschooler out for 1.5 hrs max but regularly. She's 4 so maybe older. But plenty of fun getting muddy and looking for worms, hiking trails, talking about flowers and looking for tadpoles in the creek (they are just coming out now). In the back yard there is also chalk and stomp rockets and more digging and scootering.  The outside time is key to eating a big lunch after and then a 2 hr nap after all the running around.

Sidewalk chalk and stomp rockets and muddy creeks aren’t options OP has offered. Given OP’s rigidity, do you really think she’d tolerate the nanny bringing the child back covered in mud after OP just spent two hours cleaning the house?  Should the nanny buy stomp rockets with her own money?[/quote]

Whatever.  The OP doesn’t sound particularly rigid to me.  She wants some time in the house on her own every day.  If her nanny can’t do it, then she should talk about the problem and suggest solutions, not ignore her employer and make fancy coffee drinks.  [/quote]
