[quote=Anonymous] This is going to be a problem for you eventually, because it is going to get old having to be the bad guy who makes your son follow the rules while the nanny gets to be the fun one.  Poor discipline during the day is  also going to bleed over and effect is behavior with you at night. While it is true that kids quickly figure out who allows them to get away with what,  it is also true that a kid needs structure in order to get their basic needs met, and without those needs, they are going to struggle with behavior no matter how firm you are.  When your kid is a two-year-old and a three-year-old and he is not napping well were eating healthy food or getting enough exercise because the nanny is not putting them in place, and he is going to be a hot mess when you get home and you were going to have to clean up that mess.

What do you think is the issue with the nanny? Is it possible that she does not want you to think she's being too strict?  Or is she relatively inexperienced and perhaps just does not have enough tools in her discipline arsenal?  Or is she one of those grandmother types  is more experienced babies or perhaps is just very set in her ways?  If you think that it would help, and you love the nanny in other respects, it might make sense to sign her up for a discipline class. Then have a long conversation about what kind of discipline you would like to use as a household and what the house rules are that you want to enforce. [/quote]
