DS gets upset when nanny leaves in the evening...

[Anonymous]

Our little guy went through a stage around that age when he would cry for the nanny. I never took it personally. I took it as a wonderful sign that he had a loving nanny to care for him when I wasn't around. The stage passed and now he happily waves good-bye to her in the evening.

I'm 07:49 I did feel bad for mb that her boys didn't care if she was there or not and tried to get them excited. We had a sit down and she told me its unhealthy for the boys to be so attached to you and I often wonder what you tell them while I'm gone to make them not like me. I was speechless I didn't do anything but care for them for most of their waking hours and it's just normal for them to be attached to people some more than others.
I still use her as a reference and the only negative thing she can say is the boys were too attached to me. Everyone I interviewed with said they want someone the kids are attached to and get excited to see. They would worry if it's the other way around. Inalways tell them if we ever run into a problem where they feel the kids are more attached to me that we should talk about it immediately before things get worse

It's a phase.

Give it a few month and they'll cry when you leave and not give a flip when nanny leaves. Please don't take it personally.

DD does this as well and is around the same age. Luckily her upset doesn't last more than a minute. Scoop her up and give kisses and tickles as soon as Nanny walks out the door and tell her something fun you have planned for her.
