I Am Miserable!

I think you are WAY out of line though. You are not the parent. You need to respect their decision of how they choose to parent THEIR child. He is not yours. I hate the fact that you said you " complain" about what he eats. Again, not your child so it is not your decision to make. You are overstepping your boundaries. Honestly I would fire you. I never enforce any discipline or anything until we collectively talk and decide how they want to raise their child.

However, I do not agree with pps who are saying he is not well behaved. All 3-4 year olds go through a biting phase. It's normal development.

But what he eats directly affects how he behaves with the nanny! If the parents want to feed him ice cream for dinnertime and then deal with him bouncing off the walls all evening and overnight, fine. But I think she has a right to suggest different food choices in the mornings. Do I think she should do it differently? Yes. Talking about how the kid needs more protein and less sugar so that he can keep up his energy or siting some research on food or something would be ideal. But she absolutely has a right to say something about this.
