[quote=Anonymous]I'm a mom and I think you can just be honest with her. I know that the kids give me "special Mommy treatment" as my husband & I call it - extra whining just for me, because it's easier to pull on my heart strings than it is with Dad or anyone else. So when I suspect that my presence is causing extra tears, I make a quick exit. Reassure the MB that your son isn't like this most of the time - hopefully that's all she needs to know to get the hint that she's not needed. Something like -

Susan, little Johnie actually isn't like this normally. I think he's getting confused by having the two of us kinda of co-lead the nap routine. I'm happy to take charge and handle whatever the fall out might be while we find a new balance with the current arrangement, but if you'd prefer to handle the nap routines on certain days, just let me know and I'll happy take a turn with the baby instead. Just let me know what division of labor you feel is best.

So, you're couching it as her choice, which it is as the employer, but also letting her know you've got this and you can handle it, and she can back off and enjoy that brand new baby. [/quote]
