[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your feelings about the nanny are telling you something bigger is going on. Are you not friends with the moms at school and jealous she is? Short of her showing up to drink wine with your neighbors or going on a girls trip with other moms that you are not invited to - I think you need to back off and be thankful she’s part of your village.

SAHMs in my neighborhood tend to do things like having a BD party at 3pm on Wednesday. If the play date or activity fell squarely within a time the other moms knew my child was under her care, I would want them to work with the nanny to include my child. It is also my experience that the sahms in my neighborhood seem to make plans verbally and on short notice. If I made them text me during the workday instead of trusting my nanny’s judgement, my kid wouldn’t have a social life.

Kids with working moms go to Extended Day and plans are made at pick-up and drop off there.

Kids with sahms have plans coordinated on the walk home from school or the playground after school. If your kid has the schedule of a kid with a sahm, you need your nanny to coordinate with those moms/nanny/au pairs. If she doesn’t your kid will be left out of both groups.

Don’t let your ego and sadness about your last baby being your last deprive your child of a social life. Be thankful the moms include your child. [/quote]

Thanks.  You're right. There is some ego and sadness at play here, too.  This probably resolves itself next year when youngest goes to school all day and activities pickup.  And I need to work less and be at the later activities more. [/quote]
