[quote=Anonymous]It seems like there have been a lot of great ideas here. One other thing I would do if I were in your situation is to have a conversation with oldest DC and set limits about play dates (that he can't ask in front of those kids, that he needs permission from you, DH and/or nanny before asking, that he is limited to 1-2 playdates per week with this particular child, or whatever other limit seems to fit). Your nanny is an adult and should be able to stand up to his begging. However, since you said she can't, clearly set limits with both oldest DC and then nanny. Let him know there may be flexibility during school holidays or snow days. Another idea (so you don't feel like you have to do classes and avoid going home) is to let neighbors know you are starting a new after school routine in January and DC will be less available. Maybe something like coming home, getting a snack, doing chore(s), and homework, and then getting free time. [/quote]
