I concur that controlling the times that WiFi is available for your nanny is just plain nuts.
You sound very anal, distrustful, controlling & did I mention nuts......??! Why on earth would you take the time to do this?? Don't you have any hobbies? I.e., bowling, playing Bridge, cycling?? Not even underwater basket-weaving....???? |
It took all of 15 seconds to set up the wifi rules. Plenty of time for me to master underwater basket-weaving. |
Why dictate that she can only use it from 30 minutes after nap starts to 30 minutes before nap ends? That seems strange to me. |
I don't see why she would ever need to be on it when my son is awake, thats just what I chose to set it to. |
So why cut out half of your son's nap time? There are plenty of parents who set the wifi to only be accessible during their child's nap time, what I don't understand is why she has an even smaller window. |
Because if he goes down at 1 *usually* and the WiFi became available right at 1 nanny could just toss him in his room to jump on the wifi, but now she actually has to do her job, take care of her responsibilities, maybe even have time to clean up a little before WiFi time. |
Good God you are terrible. Are you this controlling in every aspect of your life? Your kid and partner must hate you. |
Did you hire someone with the responsibility and impulse control of a 6 year old? You trust your child with her, whom you supposedly care about, but you can't trust her to use the internet responsibly? Betcha she came real cheap... |
If she wasn't planning to be on it while he was awake and before she tidied up she should never notice =) |
It doesn't take 30 minutes to tidy up. And most nannies can get a child to nap more easily than the parent, at least on occasion. Personally, I would be furious the first time that I sat down at 1.15 to eat my lunch and the wifi wasn't available. |
Maybe the nanny DOESN'T KNOW that the parents have set the wifi up to last only an hour vs. longer. If nanny brings up the wifi regularly doesn't work, the parents can say, oh, our wifi connection is really spotty, sometimes it takes a while to kick in... |
Why do you assume nannies are idiots? Wifi doesn't take a while to kick in. It would be very clear that it wasn't available at most times, and worked perfectly fine on a daily basis at exactly the same times. I can't believe you crazies actually exist and employ nannies. |
Glad I have unlimited data and don't have to deal with no cheap ass want you to work every second of the day parent.. |
Someone made an excellent point.
How in the world can you trust someone to be responsible for your child all day long....Yet not trust that they won't access WiFi before his nap. I see ZERO logic here. Plus from how you are phrasing your words, you sound more like a mother than a boss. I feel bad for your nanny. Hopefully she finds some normal people to work for! |
Not sure what prevents you from seeing the difference. I trust nanny NOT to abuse and neglect my child and protect them from general harm I do not trust nanny to be 100% focused on my child, to not take long phone calls, to be on her phone throughout the day, etc. So I do what I can to eliminate some of these issues. |
