[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, if you're looking for outdoor sports, board games, etc - yes, of course, a woman is capable of doing this with teen boys, but I've never seen a female nanny do it. [/quote]

You are looking for the wrong women then, PP. I had charges who were 8 and 11, we played outside every day, all day...basketball, softball, building forts, going for hikes, science projects, going to museums, art projects, water sports in the summer...I was never at a loss for activities and the boys were never sitting around saying they were bored.

The issue here is not that your nanny is a woman and not a man, OP, just that she isn't figuring out what kid of activities your son likes to be engaged in. At 11 he should be able to tell her if he wants to hang out together or have some time on his own, but your nanny needs to be available and ready with ideas when the time comes that he DOES want her around.

You clearly have the wrong nanny. Time to find a new one, man or woman![/quote]
