[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as you continue to set boundaries and enforce rules while they are under your care then I don't understand what the issue is. Children grow up in households where caregivers are not on the same page all the time - and children learn to adapt based on the expectations set for them. Yes, consistency is great but children are incredibly able when it comes to adapting.[/quote] This isn't my first nanny job, so I've been here before and this family is different. In general, I've seen that kids have more trouble with differing behavior expectations when they are going through the 2.5-3.5 stage of constant boundary pushing, and given that the family is very inconsistent with expectations, they are already testing constantly (oldest almost 2), even with me. It is compounded by MB being a WAHM, so when she is around they obviously test more than usual, because she will sometimes overrule.[/quote]
