[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here.  I agree that these parents need help.  In addition to the stress of a second child (no small upheaval in the order they had achieved) I think there is something clinical going on w/ Mom.

Can you suggest that you think she's still possibly struggling w/ PPD and encourage her to talk to her doctor AND get counseling.  (Very possible that medication and therapy are both in order.)

Also, do you go to any pediatrician visits w/ them where you could perhaps communicate some of this w/ the pediatrician?  And, if you're close enough to this family, do you see/interact with their family or close friends enough to share your concerns for their wellbeing?[/b]  (Grandparents, sister, best friend, etc...)

You are a good nanny - thank you for being so caring.  I hope they can find their way through this.  Maybe you can also encourage the mom to join a mothers group?  It would be better for both of you if she had other people she could talk with, especially other mothers with similar situations.

GOod luck.[/quote]

I am close to both sets of grandparents.  As a MB, how do you feel about this?  I feel like I would be betraying MB by telling her family this.[/quote]
