[quote=Anonymous]It's a little hard to judge from just this info whether or not you're asking too much. A 2 year old and an infant makes for a very busy, exhausting day. I think play dates are possible certainly, but that takes juggling in and of itself. Are you asking the nanny to do anything that you wouldn't be able to handle yourself? I'm not attacking - I just think it's a good question to ask of ourselves as MBs to ensure our expectations are realistic. I know what it takes to handle my kids all day long, and I know what might work one day could be simply way out of the question another. Or when the schedules are so fluctuating and conflicting that there aren't windows for relaxed arts and crafts projects, etc... So start there - what is realistic for you on any given day when having sole care of both of your children? Then talk with your nanny about what you would like to build in (ideally) and see what she thinks is feasible and/or helpful. [/quote]
