Weird request from my MB

[Anonymous]

Her son is 5 months old just starting to roll over. She said to me two days ago that "we need to teach him how to sit and to talk as soon as we can". I told her I cannot do it because I just don't. If I know how to make 5 months baby to talk in 2 months I would be RICH!

Question is can I teach the baby to sit at his age?

Are you her MB? What's next? demand her to teach you baby how to walk and how to run?

Dear Rosie,

1) Your boss is crazy 2) Your charge is not a trained money and you can't teach them to sit on command. Babies aren't circus animals and they will reach each milestone when it's developmentally appropriate.

Doubtful. The hello Rosie post was only 1 minute after the original post. Well hello troll, sounds more accurate.

Thanks!(But I'm not Rosie )

This all got to do with her "autism" paranoia.

Today another weird request from her is for me to sell her DS used clothes on the internet (like Craigslist) for the price that ridiculous high!

1. She needs to talk to the pediatrician about what reasonable ages are for milestones.

2. Expecting you to drop bags of clothes off for consignment or donation is reasonable. Expecting you to sell them on craigslist, ebay or in a yard sale is not.

Hm, could you say something like -

"Sure, tummy time is the best way to develop muscle control and we'll keep at it! He's making good progress. We've got story time as a central part of our day too, so that's sure to help with verbal skills."

And see how she takes to that? Because at this age, "teaching" really is just about exposing baby to developmentally appropriate things and letting them work on their skills. This baby sounds right on track. Hopefully that's about all the mom wants you to do?

If she says, "no - here's a stack of flashcards I want you cover each day" then, um, maybe suggest a book with similar material instead? My girls are liking "Baby's first 100 words" right now - no harm in reading something that covers the mom's agenda, I guess.

She sounds intense though. Are things otherwise okay?

(1) Passport - inappropriate. As a parent, I would never out source this.
(2) Does she want to be nail twinsies with you? Or is this her round about way of asking you to tone it down on the neon? Maybe she gave you a light pastel pink and asked you to swap it out for your fusia?

Hi its me again,

Today my MB introduced me to this woman. She said this woman is her friend. That woman asked me if I know abt amber necklace and what is my opinion. I told her I read a lot abt the necklace but not into it so much. Its up to my MB if she want to get one for her DS. From our conversations it seems this "friend" is a NANNY. I told her " its good that you speak their language maybe you can watch X (baby name) when I go for my vacation"

She said " I love to do that because my son and my daughter is older and I miss sweet baby like X"

The more I talked to her the more I feel like she is going to the second nanny. Before I left I told my MB " I like her and maybe you can hire her sooner"

Yesterday I told her I'm not comfortable doing the passport application.

Two days ago she asked me to call this insurance company but I said "Its better for her to do it" She been on hold for almost 2 hours and not happy abt it.

She want me to go to Palms Spring with her but when I told her she need to pay me extra she gets mad.

I like her but sometimes I hate her!!

MB here.

I would suggest that you need to find another job - this does not sound like a good fit.

I'd like to also gently suggest that you take a class or two on your written english - it will help you present yourself more professionally and communicate more clearly. This would be very much to your benefit while interviewing, in drawing up or reviewing a contract, and in communicating w/ your employers.

Good luck.
