I can’t stand throwing away ziplocks/plastic that can easily be reused. Think of the earth.

Honestly, if MIL is home all day, I'd switch the daycare so that she can't micro manage.

Yes, Nanny has been very understanding but we all have our limit and MIL is too much period. I usually leave Nanny check on the kitchen counter and I have a feeling mil saw it and she thinks it's way too much. Same for the water and electric bills. She thinks we spend too much. She also boils water to drink instead water bottle or using a filter.

MIL sounds crazy but you’re an idiot for leaving the check on the counter and drinking from water bottles.

My expectations was for Mil to mind her business and leave our Nanny to manage the kids period. We use water filter except mil prefer to boil her water.

Shouldn’t you be glad she’s boiling water instead of requiring you to constantly buy water bottles? Why is this even a complaint? You sound stupid.

Hey MIL, stop micromanaging your DIL’s household!

i bet you’re one of those ppl who tells everyone you have a great sense of humor?

I’m not the ones calling people stupid for drinking bottled water. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

People who drink bottled water are stupid. It’s a fact.

People who call others stupid for making different choices are even stupider than they realize. That’s a fact.

This reminds me of a time when I went to my Indian friend's house for a playdate for our daughters. She was at work, I had the day off, so the playdate was supervised by her nanny and myself. My friend's mother was also there, and she ignored me, talked rudely to her daughter's nanny, and when I was leaving, finally realized that I wasn't another nanny, and suddenly became really nice to me. It was so awkward. Clearly this person was used to servants and treating them like people of no importance.

This woman is going to ruin your marriage and the family life you were envisioning if you don't nip all these behaviors in the bud. Why is she living with you? Is that a forever thing? If so, time for some serious talks and groundrules.

Dh and I talked to his mother last night and she listened, told us she was only trying to help, she didn't think the nanny was that upset, she agree not to interfere with nanny job, and my husband has agreed to find either a neighbor or hire someone to take his mother on activities while we work. Hopefully, my mother-in-law time will be occupied and away from the house for at least 3 to 4 hours a day. I want our nanny to be comfortable without mother-in-law shadowing her every move. My mother-in-law will be living with us permanently because her husband passed away a few years ago and my husband decided to bring her over. I didn't think to set rules and regulation without knowing how involved, she was going to be around my kids and our nanny. My husband family is originally from Poland. My mother-in-law is very smart and used to having nannies, housekeepers, and etc. I need her to know that our nanny is not there for her. Nanny is a previous Middle School math teacher, she has raised her own kids, and after retirement, became a nanny to occupied her time and make money obviously. I do not want to lose a fantastic nanny because my mother-in-law wants to interfere.
