[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any chance the family could find a better nanny that could handle two children?[/quote]

Don't be such a fool. She is not talking about being unable to handle two kids at the playground, she is talking about it being dangerous with a fresh walker and a 3yo in a pool, where one second of inattention could result in tragedy.

OP, I used to take my just turned 3yo and just turned 4yo to the pool and I was there for about half an hour on my own before MB joined me with the older kid. I swear I was sweating in the water it was so stressful. Can't imagine doing it with a 3yo and essentially a baby who you need to hold onto the entire time. Both of them need your undivided attention at all times.

I would see if a friend of yours would join you for another pair of hands (if the family is okay with it of course), or suggest that you wait with the pool with you solo until both of the kids are a bit older. And I wouldn't go about it from the point of view that you can't do it - stress how it isn't safe even with your complete and utter attention on the kids.

But in any case go to the pool with MB or DB to be shown the ropes - maybe it has been made so safe you will not have these worries. [/quote]

You couldn't manage a 3 and 4 year old in the baby pool? Jesus. [/quote]
