[quote=Anonymous]Hi all- I'm a nanny of 4. One or both parents are often home while I'm caring for their children. Children are better behaved when neither parent is home. Recently, DB was out of town and MB had a girlfriend over, who also brought her child. MB told me 1 day prior that the guest + "baby" would be there, so I knew to expect chaos due to MB being home but also chaos due to guest. "Baby" was a toddler not an infant. MB does not do confrontation well and did not say/do anything when guest mother expected me to take care of her child.

I keep kids on tight schedule and didn't really allow for time to take care of guest child, so I did not. Guest mom rubbed me the wrong way with rude comments and by expecting that I would take care of her child (including bathing and bedtime - neither happened, child did not know me and wailed as soon as I engaged). The guests are planning a return overnight stay later this month and I'm not sure how to broach the topic with MB but I have no intention of taking care of a 5th child.

Advice please??[/quote]
