[quote=Anonymous]I've been part of a successful nanny share for a while. There are just a couple of things that irk me, which I think are minor, and I just need reassurance that I'm taking things too personally.

The other baby in the share is very high needs attention wise, with early separation anxiety and jealousy. The nanny must hold her or be touching her the entire day (naps, feeding, and play) and screams whenever she is not. She also gets upset when she sees the nanny give my baby attention (like change a diaper). My baby is usually pretty content, likes to play, and can nap on her own. My baby seems to like our nanny and I trust she is getting the attention that she needs, but I just wonder if she isn't getting the attention that should fairly be hers. That being said, I'm not about to ask the nanny to make the other baby cry all day.

Sometimes this also makes me feel like our nanny has a better relationship with the other mom as they tend to spend a lot of time gushing about how cute and spoiled her baby is. They also spend more time talking about her baby than the nanny does about mine.

Because my baby is usually easy going, I tell myself if she were in day care it would probably even worse and that we have it pretty good, and to stop focusing on this. Any advice on the situation?
