Am I wrong???

OP on the bottle you should ask MB about trying different bottle types and nipples. This can make a big difference especially with breastfed babies. You should also try the bottle before food. At this age food is about learning not nutrition. On being held, this is pretty natural for a 5 month old when they are awake. They don't really want to lay in the pack in play all day. They want to be up which means being help and looking around.

I'm a nanny, and you can't tell her how to parent. I don't think what she's doing is harmful. You can't really "spoil" and infant, that's old school and harmful thinking.

You need to know your place. Nannies like you who don't, float from job to job. You're THE HELP.

- From a nanny at the same job for 8 years.

Stop saying shit like this. It's insulting. She may not be the best fit for this particular family but she doesn't need to "know her place". She's a human being, as entitled to her opinions as anyone else, and being a nanny doesn't change that. The way she chooses to express these concerns is what gives someone longevity in their job as well as finding the right fit. Simply keeping your mouth shut whenever you disagree is not the way to find happiness in your job.

OP, it doesn't sound like you're a good match for this family. If you're unhappy with the way this family wants to spend time with their children, you should try and find another family.

These nannies who love to give unsolicited opinions and who don't know their place are always the same nannies looking for new jobs. If mb wants parenting advice, she will ask.

I agree. I can tell OP is one of those nannies who think they know what is best for the baby. Nanny needs to know her place in this situation (she is a human being but she is NOT the mother and needs to learn that.) She sounds like an awful nanny and I am glad she doesn't work for me.

Enough with the sock puppeting "know your place" pp.

OP, I think you should DEFINTELY express all of your concerns to the mom, or just show her your original post. And then sit back and see what happens. (Hint: it will involve you, your final paycheck, and the door.)

"The Help" is an absolutely degrading term.

I too, am glad I don't work for you.
