[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](I am OP) I like the idea of my child being polite but I don't want a very authoritarian nanny. He spends every day with her. Surely he will internalize her strict demeanor and think he isn't good enough. She also refuses to answer if he calls her by her first name. She insists that she and any adult be called "Ms/Mr First Name." I have siblings, his aunts and uncles, who he calls by their first name. It seems really over the top for us.[/quote] Well then, OP, she doesn't sound like the nanny for you. Do her a favor and let her go where she will be appreciated, and find someone who is "fun". See what "fun" gets you when your kid is 5, can't do anything for himself, still expects you to clean up after him, and can't get used to the rules and structure of school. If she says things to him in a kind way, having some rules and expectations isn't going to ruin your special snowflake's special self esteem. [/quote]
