What are you, going to melt if you don't respond to her texts? You are already doing close to nothing at your job, don't be lazy!

I really hope you aren't an MB, because I am and this is the stupidest and most embarrassing post I've seen here.

OP, there is no reason at all for your MB to text you when you're not at work and you should feel free to ignore all her texts. If you do this, one of two things will happen. She'll get it and leave you alone, or she won't and ask you why you didn't answer. If I were you, and because I'm not a fan of conflict, I'd say something along the lines of....after hours, I turn off my phone so I can enjoy my night. You can also just straight up tell her that when you're off the clock, you don't answer work texts.

Either way, put a stop to it. This isn't right.

If you are so embarrassed to ask the nanny to text you pics and updates, why aren't you embarrassed to ask her watch your kid? Just pay her money, ask no questions, give no work to do, and feel smart, looser.

If you read the OP and had any clue about this line of work (or could spell) you would see that the requests for pictures and updates are not the problem. It is OP's employer texting her repeatedly after her work hours with problems that are not hers to solve. Try to at least have a basic comprehension of the issue at hand before you feel the need to be insulting. Or better yet, just keep the nastiness to yourself.

You misunderstood my point. My point is that the poster who suggested that the OP was lazy for not answering texts after work is embarrassing. If you read the OP's post, the problem isn't sending texts during the day, it's hourly texts when OP is not on the clock. I don't think the nanny is responsible for 24/7 communication with her MB if she doesn't want it. That's invading her private time off.

Next time, try to read the actual thread before calling anyone a loser. You also might want to work on your spelling.

I already worked on it and apologized above, loser.

My new nanny is the constant texter in our nanny-MB relationship. It annoyed me at first, especially since I don't have unlimited texts, but now I don't mind -- it makes things friendlier, and if I need to, I just ignore them and she goes about her day/evening/whatever.

PP does this on every thread...just don't take the bait and maybe one day they will take the hint and find a better way to occupy their time.

You know, she just sounds a little worried and over the top. Or maybe she is just really into texting, and doesn't get that she is intruding.

I wouldn't quit so fast; I'd just try to establish some boundaries. Let her know that you are happy to text her news about the baby throughout the day, but that at home, you don't spent much time checking your phone. Then don't respond to her texts (unless there's a good reason).

She'll get the picture. And if she doesn't, for some odd reason, you might just need to spell out that when you are off the clock, you are off the clock and have other obligations.

Most people should understand this. She's just not thinking, or is getting comfortable with the new arrangement.
