[quote=nannydebsays]Have you not experienced "Monday Madness" before in your time as a teacher and as a nanny, OP? It's a job issue most nannies have most of the time. ;-) That said, you can talk to her about how YOU rely on scheduling to keep NK on a good track during the week next time she complains. Take the tone that you really are invested in helping MB figure out how to have a happy kiddo during her time with him. Ask what she does and how he responds. Ask what their days look like on the weekends. Refer to your logbook/journal to show MB your general daily schedule. Ask how she thinks you can help her have a cheerful calm kid on the weekends. Don't mention how hard Mondays are for you - you want to make the discussions completely about helping her,which will then help you. And don't be shocked if it takes a while for changes to take place. Parents need to make their own choices and deal with the outcomes while they are figuring out their new 24/7/365 job. [/quote]
