That is just a fact. I was just watching her on the baby cam and I realized that in everything she is better at this than either my husband or me.
That's all. I just wanted to get that out somewhere. Not exactly something I could share with family or friends. |
| Hey Mom it is OK, you will always be MOM no matter what. You have to remember a nanny with good experience often and really should know great childcare techniques and be able to execute it well, that is what you are paying her for. |

It might be true that she is better at the day to day stuff, but you'll learn it all.
Just think back to when your son was born - how difficult did you find changing your first diapers? And now you could do it in your sleep. You'll get the hang of everything else just like that. Your nanny had years of practice of caring for small kids, she knows the tricks. You're still learning. But more importantly than that, you will always be in your son's life, you will always love him no matter what and you will be his best advocate. That's more important, and you're the only one who can provide that. |
No. It isn't OK. I would feel like a collosal failure if my care giver was better with my child. |
| Another poster wrote something I thought was quite wise on another thread: "This is not your nanny's first time at the rodeo" You are first time parents - she is not a first time nanny. |

Your nanny isn't better than you she's just more relaxed.
Your nanny has been at it for years. I bet if a first time mom with a day old baby saw you on camera she'd be impressed with all you know to do now your son is a few weeks older. Also give yourself a mom pat on the back because you did a great job picking someone to look after your baby during the day. |
