[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp that's a great story/lesson. It would be great for me to tell it to the kids while nanny is there! She may or may not take the hint, but at least then I can have the conversation with the kids about the word while she's in earshot. I don't expect her to change her whole vocabulary, but using it less when she's with our kiddos is all I can ask. [/quote]

Please don't infantalize your nanny. What's so difficult about pulling her aside to say, "you know, hate is a very strong word that we avoid in this house and it would really help if you could model this for the kids using "I really dislike" something rather than "hate" it. Thanks."

Also, this could be a good opportunity to teach your kids that they will encounter others doing and saying things differently than they have been raised, but that doesn't mean its okay for them. Growing up, my extended family used curse words and "hate" like it was nothing, but from a young age my siblings and I knew it was not tolerated in our house. [/quote]
