[quote=Anonymous][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]

Thank you pp!  I never thought it documenting our conversations.  I will definitely try this.  I already take my phone out immediately once she vegans talking of play dates or her going out of town etc just so that she can see I'm noting it and putting it on my calendar right in her face. However it doesn't stop her from telling me again that evening and of course I get out the door late every night after our talks.

She mentioned wanting me to download the cozi app for us to sync our calendars etc. I downloaded it but needed her password etc to get started.  I reached out to her for the info and now she hasn't mentioned it since.

I think I will actually log our convos in the communication binder so that SHE can see herself how much she repeats and forgets things

As far as their diets, yes this bothers me more than anything.  Good carbs are brain food and I try to tell her they some carbs especially with them both doing soccer.  [/quote]
