[quote=Anonymous]I know what you are saying and I know you have a point but I would not say anything about this or if you do, make it light. Do not use the word sacrosanct or anything of that nature.

People have different beliefs and her belief just does not lie with yours. If you say something, she is not going to suddenly see the light and change her philosophy and parenting style. Some parents firmly believe that kids should have a relaxed schedule or no schedule and "go with the flow." Some people have a firm belief that kids do not need to go by the clock all hours of the day and learn discipline from toddler age to make the caregiver's life easier.

She may just have a hard time balancing all that she needs to do over the weekend, ends up taking the little one on her errands which she must do to run her life, and the little one gets over simulated and doesn't nap. She may fully know this and look to you to balance it out by giving him some days where he does get good naps. I actually plan the weekends to be full of fun and include field trips knowing the nanny will spend the week with my little ones (who are a bit older) and give them more routine. Weekdays are supposed to be for work, weekends for fun and relaxation.

Again, I know what you are saying, and I know that kids will get tiring and cranky if they do not get good rest. But from the subject where you said "schedule is sacrosanct," I think that is coming on way too strong because she could be one of those people who believe the opposite.[/quote]
