[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Micromanaging is what happens if you take a job with a WAHM/SAHM.  The ones who stand behind you and tell you how to rock DC, or how warm DC baby food should be.  The kind who throw fits if DC sleeps a minute longer than schedule, and generally act like your an idiot who has no experience.

How do I handle it?  I quit.[/quote]

Not all of us have had negative experiences with WAHM/SAHMs. In over 12 years as a nanny I have worked for a number of MBs who either stayed home or worked at home.

#1: SAHM, 4 kids, 3 years, divide-and-conquer strategy, worked really well, I'm still good friends with former MB
#2: SAHM, 3 kids, just over 2 years, divide-and-conquer strategy, worked well, still friendly with the family
#3: part SAH/part WAH, 3 kids, 2 1/2 years, divide-and-conquer strategy, no micromanaging, MB and I just had very different ideas on how to do things...she still let me do as I saw fit when I was in charge
#4: WAHM, 2 kids, a little over 3 years and counting, she trusts my judgement implicitly, tied with job#1 as my favorite

I briefly (7 weeks) worked for a micromanaging SAHM and I quit, citing her as the reason when she accused me of not liking her children upon handing her my notice. My other position was for a woman who worked out of the house, and she was a huge micromanager. Thankfully we traveled quite a bit and she was less micromanaging when we traveled so that's the only reason I stuck it out for our agreement period.

Please don't be so quick to judge SAHM and WAHMs. Some of them are really wonderful.

Also want to add that I completely agree with PP 00:55. [/quote]
