[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are all nuts. Except for those who wrote normal responses. I pay $30 an hour. The former nanny used to work for 6 hours a day. And no, she didn’t have to be with infants or toddlers. She used to do projects with our youngest: play dough, art, construction paper, etc. they used to spend time outside or ran around the house playing tag or hide and seek. She used her phone only when her grandson called (they live together). It’s sad they moved to a different state. I pay for a nanny so our youngest doesn’t have to sit with me for 2,5 hours while the other child is training. So she doesn’t have to be in the car for an hour. So she can have her own classes like ballet and art. Yeah, I guess it’s time to look for a new nanny. Why on earth should she be reading news while at work? I am not asking to hover over my daughter, I want to make sure they are doing nice fun things together.[/quote]

Wow, sounds you like you don't want to be around or spend any time with your youngest. Sad.[/quote]

Exactly.   OP wants to be able to sit and scroll on her phone for the 2.5 hours she's waiting for her older child to "train."[/quote]

All of you who are commenting like this have never had a nanny. Insane, mean-spirited, troll comments.[/quote]

It's insane to point out that OP is paying someone to watch her kid so she can sit at a practice for 2.5 hours? Why does OP bother to sit there herself? How boring.[/quote]

Not to me. I have to watch because it’s a serious sport and I have to be there if she falls. I don’t just sit around doing nothing. Plus I do enjoy it all. Just like my middle child. Some parents are there all day long. They bring their laptops and work. [/quote]

Are you spotting her on the uneven bars or something?   Doesn't the gym have paid trainers for that?[/quote]

This part of the story is very strange.  No competitive and serious sports environment expects or wants parents watching attentively for 2.5 hours and expects them to be there at all times in case there is an accident.  By the way, if this is the case, send the nanny to do this job which is zero quality time with a child.

As to the OP's original question, fire the nanny.  If you've tried to talk to her and she blew it off, the next stop is fire her.
