[quote=Anonymous]This is going to sound awful.... So I've been with my charge three years. I started watching her when she was eight weeks old. We're close and I enjoy spending my days with her. Seven weeks ago my Nanny family had a second little girl. I cannot seem to bond with this new baby at all. She isn't an easy baby at all. The day they brought her home she got handed off to me. MB is on maternity leave but you would never know she's even here besides the constant mess she leaves in the kitchen. Before I can even sit my bag down when I get there in the morning she hands her off to me. She cries non stop. You can never sit her down, you have to walk a certain way, no loud noises, no sitting etc. Constanly screams. This all goes on while I have my three year old charge as well. I've tried to not pick her up right away if she cried but that's the only time "mommy" pops in and tells me what to do. But she never takes the baby. Ten hours of misery. All day. I can't even eat my lunch. I have so much to do around the house and the constant texts my mb sends of little things I can do for her blah blah are making me go batty.

So this is where I feel bad. I feel NO attachment to this more baby. I dread spending my day with her. There is no bond. Has anyone ever had this problem? Does it get better? Is there something I can do? [/quote]
