[quote=Anonymous]I have always known that I would never spank or yell at my charges - and would quit rather than be forced to do so.

However, now I have come up with a second dilemma.  My MB wants my 22 month old (low weight percentile) charge to go to bed hungry if he will not eat what she chooses for him to eat that day.  He is a well-behaved little boy and not a crier - but he did cry in his highchair on Friday because he was hungry (hadn't eaten since 7AM) and didn't like what was on his plate.  Not a bratty cry - a truly heartbroken, big tear cry.  I was heartbroken for him and feel that MB was dead wrong in her approach and request.  I called her and convinced her to let me give him some yogurt and fruit.

However - if she had said no, I would have given it to him anyway - in full view of the nanny cam and risk being fired over it.  I will not send a baby to bed hungry.

I am interested in hearing if other nannies have lines they simply will not cross regardless of their employers request.   [/quote]
