[quote=Anonymous]Long time nanny here. IMO, your MB is unlikely to change her ways. I've worked with a number of families over the years. Some MBs and DBs will try very hard to stick to the schedule as best as they can on the weekends. Others will say they agree the schedule is important for their child, but choose not to make it a priority themselves.

I've worked with parents like that, and even when they had a little terror on their hands all weekend who refused to nap and was just impossible (and was starting to exhibit signs of special needs, and had no other siblings complicating things), they still would say things like "I tried to do it, but it's too hard.."

Parents who choose not to follow the schedule on weekends are not likely to change. You can show them every chart and study and book that exists on the importance of a schedule for a toddler, but they already know it is important, and are choosing to prioritize other things over the schedule.

You've already said you won't quit, so honestly all you can do is deal with it. [/quote]
