[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is becoming awfully defensive . . . [/quote]

+1. What the heck?  OP is a total asshole.[/quote]

F off.  OP here.

Never, in a million years, did I think I’d get attacked for wanting to spend 6 hours a month outside with my husband Without the kids and caring about our nanny’s well being.   [b]Nor did I expect my nanny to be attacked for loving my kids.[/b]

I am not new to DCUM but this is a new low.

Thank you to the few who gave real advice. [/quote]

Nobody has said a single bad thing about your nanny.  To the contrary, posters feel sorry for her.[/quote]

[b]Actually, one poster questioned whether the nanny had replaced mom in the child’s affection, and im guessing op read that as an attack on the nanny, like I did.

Hey op, nanny here.  No, your child didn’t replace you.  No, you’re not awful for wanting 6 hours alone with your husband each month.  No, there’s no reason to put your toddler through a 3 hour crying jag every other week if the nanny is offering to take care of the kids on the weekend.

I would suggest timing the run or hike according to the nanny’s preference.  She may prefer to do lunch into toddler naptime and do something quiet with the 3yo, or she may want to do 8.30-11.30, then hand off to you for lunch.  You’re already at 45 hours, so those three hours will be overtime, but you could free to do it in cash or lump it into her next paycheck.[/quote]

It was an attack on OP, not the nanny.  It's not the nanny's fault that she spends 10 times as much time with the kids as OP already, and now OP is pressuring the nanny to do even more.  Why wouldn't the kids like the nanny better?[/quote]
