[quote=Anonymous]The nanny before me had bad experiences with The grandparents. They actually put grandma and grandpa up in a hotel when they would come. DB told me that one time it got so heated between GM and Nanny that they asked their parents to drive back home....4 states over.

I met GM and GP  three weeks ago when they came for two weeks. They did not stay in the hotel. I was nervous at first, but man I kissed butt the first 2 days and now GM and I are best buds. I actually do enjoy her, but I can see where the head butting might have occurred. I was lucky enough that her requests were easy for me to get out of with witty words.

I kept a list of things I was going "to do" each day, and when GM had a "suggestion" I would loudly and over nicely add it to my "to dos". This tactic seemed to work super well.

I even called her this morning for her opinion on something house chore related. She was estatic.

I know every set of grandparents can be extremely different and difficult. Thank goodness your bosses have your back! Stay strong and try to find some comman ground. I don't care what it is! GM and I had our first connection over the love of tea and coffee at 530am the first day. I showed her my stash of flavors and it was uphill after that! Before the next visit I'm going to stock it full of deliciousness!!![/quote]
