[quote=Anonymous]I wholeheartedly disagree that it's hypocritical to expect your nanny not to use the TV as a babysitter and then let your child watch TV yourself.  The recommendation is not to let them watch TV at all, but if you're going to, obviously parents want to limit it to a show or two a day.  They expect their nannies to prepare lunch and clean up and deal with the "hassle" of engaging their child because that's what they're being paid to do.  Especially with a single toddler who still naps, it shouldn't be difficult.  The parent spends all day at their job too, and then starts the second shift of making dinner and putting the kids to bed and then doing all the other stuff you have to do to run a household.  If the parents want to use the one half hour of TV a day for themselves after having worked all day, that's not hypocritical.

If a nanny told me I was being hypocritical because I allow my kids to watch TV on Sunday mornings, but didn't allow her to use TV during the week, that would show me that we weren't on the same page regarding what her job is.  [/quote]
