[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nanny hates that you’re there. Just know that. Go out of your way to take over some of the dinner preparation, don’t expect her to cook for you, and do something with the kids. Make yourself useful not like another child that needs to be catered to.

I’m a nanny and finally had to point blank tell the kids dad that his dad was like having three additional kids around and gave examples. He expected me to prepare meals for him and got mad when I didn’t, accused me of locking him out of the house when the door was sticky from the heat and humidity, stepped in a peanut butter sandwich the toddler threw on the floor and knowingly walked around with it on his shoe ten minutes after the house cleaners left. It was really difficult having him around but the kids mom would just complain about it instead of saying something. I finally said something things improved somewhat. Don’t make the nanny have this conversation with her employers. You’re an adult. Take care of yourself and your family. [/quote]

Sorry that your employer's father was a jerk, but:  IDGAF if you want my ILs or parents around.  When they're in town, they are free to do as they please in my house, assuming of course they behave in the normal courteous way I have always known them to behave.  You, as the employee--nanny or housekeeper-- can like it or dislike it, but it won't change.  Any more than me liking or disliking something my boss does is likely to change anything at my job just because it annoys me.[/quote]
