MB is about to drive me up the wall! I just started working for this new family. MB is a sahm to a 10 month old girl. MB does not leave the house without her daughter so she is with me all day, every day. She watches over everything I do, questions why I do it, and then tells me how she would do it and why her way is best. I try to do things her way but it's always something that I should be doing differently! Then when we go out MB just loves taking pictures with her daughter. They smile and it seems like they're having a really great time in the pictures but then it comes time for her daughter to actually play. No, mommy doesn't want to be a part of that. That's the nanny's job. It's fine and I don't mind but it still makes me sad that she doesn't truly enjoy spending time with her charge. She just likes to pretend for family and friends.
And then DB, ugh. He likes to think that he is this all knowing philosophical god. He will come home early some days and discuss with MB and I why their previous DD did things that day. Her emotional and mental reasoning behind it. He will give us deep insights on to how we feel what we feel and how we need to be better people. All the while MB is just fascinated with what he's saying. Thanks for letting me vent

| Why does MB need a nanny if she's a SAHM? |

Because supervising a baby is really really hard

That right there is just ridiculous! I understand if she was a WAHM, but...what does she do all day? Oh right, boss you around. This crap sets the feminist movement back like 50 years. |

Thank you! She bosses me around, shops online, and does research on why holding the baby at a 45 degree angle on Tuesdays will stunt their abilities to ever function in society. Swear to God, it's stupid shit like that. |

| Did't you know to never work for a SAHM? It will only get worse, so start lookng now and leave and don't look back. |

| OP, you are really mean and resentful. Do yourself and that child a favor and get a new job. |

This made me laugh. And I'm an MB. Honestly, OP, they sound pretty dreadful and I think this shows why nannies hate working for parents who are home a lot. |

OP-
I totally feel you. It sounds like your position sucks. But...... GET A NEW JOB. You aren't being forced to work there. |

+100000 you knew she was a sahm and now know out isn't a good fit so if you don't like it get a new job you aren't going to change her and can only control yourself |

I don't really understood why you took this job. I assume that this was all discussed when you interviewed/were hired? If not, you should really brush up on important questions you need to ask a family before you start working for them.
Although...I'm having a hard time believing this one. Seems more like you wanted to rile people up with the SAHM that needs a nanny. NO ONE could be this naive when taking a new job and then having no idea what it would be like. |

That was most likely a typo, OP probably meant precious. |

| This won't get any better, OP, and there's really nothing you can do about it. You probably realize by now that you are a trophy, "the help." Good luck on finding a new job. |
