[quote=Anonymous]On weekends I am the nanny for a very high-profile and wealthy family.  The mother is at home generally the entire time I am there.  I am used to being a full-charge nanny, as I am during the week, where the parents leave and I am in charge, so I am not sure of my place when the mother is always there.

Last weekend, my two-year-old charge was throwing his heavy trucks.  I told him that to stop and that we only throw balls.  His mother also told him to stop throwing his toys.  I warned him that if he threw his truck again, I would have to take it away.  He threw it again and I took the truck away.

Was that my place or should I have waited for the mother to do it?  Do you correct your charges in front of a parent?

Thanks for any insight.  I really don't care much for this weekend arrangement - I have a masters degree in early childhood development and feel like a mothers-helper - and am looking for another weekend job, but need advise until I find a new position.  [/quote]
