[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While it is easier said than done, try your best to give your nanny complete autonomy and try not to micromanage her.

If you hear your child crying, then let the nanny deal w/the situation at hand. Unless she comes to you and asks for assistance, simply stay out of it.  Also, give your nanny the opportunity to take your child out during the day. This will be a win-win for everyone.  It will allow you much needed peace and quiet to rest up and will allow nanny and child some fun bonding time together plus some change of scenery.  Good luck.[/quote]

Huh? I'm grounded. There's no reason my kids have to go from going out every day with the nanny to staying home with me every day. Just because I have to suffer doesn't mean they have to keep me company and suffer also. I'm not supposed to get up except to go to the bathroom or shower, so I CAN'T get up to go running each time my kids cry. [/quote]

No offense OP, but I think you sound a little too uptight.

The advice given here was pretty standard and quite good.

Your response was actually snarky and defensive. Not to mention you sound ignorant. What do you mean you are [i]grounded??[/i]

The PP was just suggesting you let the nanny take your child out during the day so you could rest.

What's the beef with that....??!  :roll: [/quote]

Um, of course I'm uptight - I have a medical issue that requires me to not work at either my job or taking care of my kids. It seemed like the PP was implying that normally the kids are home all day every day but because I'm now on bedrest I should allow them to be taken out. They go out every single day. That won't change now that I'm home. There was no snark at all. I don't need to rest. I need to stay horizontal. [/quote]
