[quote=Anonymous]So we just moved and I'm now working from home. We hired a nanny but I'd like some advice in terms of the dynamic being home. My older son is 3 and is a TERRIBLE 3 year old. Pushes the envelop, whines, tries to push buttons. While I love him, this is not his best phase. Similarly, I have a 6 month old who is kind of a disaster. He SCREAMS when he's changes, is hard to put down, refuses a bottle, and HATES the car seat. When I'm working, I can hear them. The baby whines and fusses and cries, my older son pitches a fit and shouts NO at her. And I want to rush out and discipline him and tell him to be respectful, and I want to rush out and help her figure out how to soothe the baby since she is just getting to know him. But I also feel like she needs to just sort things out. What is the balance in terms of training, providing support, and giving her the space to find her own way? Any advice from moms who have BTDT?[/quote]
