[quote=Anonymous]My real answer is that I would quit.  I could not deal with that.

But if you aren't ready to jumo ship yet, I would start tracking every conversation with her and proactively updating her in a form she can see.

E.g., she says, "Oh, please remember to wash Larla's soccer uniform. Also, can you please cook that cauliflower and make sure the kids make a card for teacher appreciation week?"

You: "Got it.  I will wash Larla's uniform tomorrow morning in time for her practice tomorrow night.  I cooked the cauliflower 3 days ago, but I will cook some asparagus tonight.  The kids can do their teacher appreciation card on Thursday before ballet."

Then as soon as she leaves the room you update a file in your smartphone notes to reflect the new schedule:

Tuesday: 
Breakfast: XYZ
Packed lunches: 
NK1 needs to bring her trombone to school
NK2 needs permission slip signed (in green folder on the desk)
Nanny wash Larla's soccer uniform
Afterschool snack: 
NK2 piano practice
Practice sight words 
NK1 soccer practice 
Dinner:

Etc. etc. etc.

Basically write down EVERYTHING you do/plan to do every single day and proactively send an email/text daily (or multiple times per day) with an uodated schedule for the coming week.

Frankly, it sounds to me like she has ADD and probably some anxiety and those are not things that you can fix.[/quote]
