[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got a new live in nanny/housekeeper last week. So far she is great. She works past her hours and told us she does not want overtime so that was a plus for us. I have an issue which I am not sure how to address. We like family time but don't want her to feel unwanted either. Once her shift is done at 7pm, she sticks around in the family room watching TV with kids or on her laptop/phone. If the baby cries/screams or even climbs something, she will do nothing about it. I know she is off, but if she decides to stick around with the family, I think it is only normal that she acts like a member of one. For example if baby cries or does something dangerous and I am not there to correct, then any of my kids are expected to respond, so Is it too much to expect her to do the same?

I am afraid that if I ask her to go to her room, she might feel unwanted/unappreciated, but if she continues to stick around and continues to be like this with my kids (only normal my younger kids will ask her for something if she is there...I can not explain to them that she is off so come see me), I will only build an annoyance towards it/her.

Would love to hear your opinions please. Am I over reacting?[/quote]

Yes you are over reacting .[/quote]
