[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Place mats...sure i get it. It is the same as a coaster,keeps the furniture from being ruined. Hair ....stepping into micromanagement area. If your daughter is constantly getting food etc in her hair,eventually the au pair will probably decide to put it up on her own. [/quote] I disagree re the hair. Nannies and APs, your MBs and DBs are your managers. Your job is to care for their children according to their direction. As in any other job, your manager has every right to specify how he or she wants things done, and that goes for small things as well as big things. Only a negligent manager would sit back and say "Gee, I sure hope my nineteen year old AP figures out before too many more tear-filled fights with the hairbrush that my daughter's hair is best pulled out of her face each day."
