[quote=Anonymous]Overall, I have no idea what to suggest. Perhaps document when you tell her things, and then when she starts telling you the same thing again later, point out that you already heard it three times in the last 2 days? Of course it needs to be done politely, but she may not notice that it's an issue. As to things coming home from school, BTDT. I worked for a family in which MB went to work out-of-state for a month. She's the one who handled all the bills and things, and she wanted to see all quizzes, tests, projects and other important(ish) school things when she got home, so we set up a shoe box, one side for bills and the like, the other for kids' school stuff, sorted by kid. Every single time she got home, she would come running to me because she couldn't find one or the other, because she had only looked at one side of the box. So, I don't know what to recommend for that, but I certainly empathize. With the kids' eating, I would say something. I was fine when a former DB said no refined starches or sugars, but I put my foot down when he said that the kids would only eat meat and veggies, with the occasional fruit or dairy. Healthy eating varies from family to family, but if the kids can't get the nutrients they need, it's up to the nanny to ask if the parent discussed the diet change with the pediatrician.[/quote]
