[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find a regular scheduled way to keep the nanny in his life.  It is important that the shift be gradual and she doesn't "abandon" him completely.

Stay on fantastic terms with this nanny because staying at home is really, really hard and lonely.  Your relationship with your husband will change (for the better or worse - but it will change) and you may feel less-than in th eyes of your work friends.  You might want to go back to work.

None of what you said makes any sense.  A one year old will easily forget a beloved caregiver, sad, but true.  And especially in this case where the one year old will be going from nanny to mom, it truly is a non-issue.  As to staying on fantastic terms with the nanny, sure, but not for the reasons you mentioned.  You think the nanny is going to wait in the wings, unemployed, to see if mom changes her mind and goes back to work?  You sound like an idiot.[/quote]

Yes, the nanny will easily be forgotten but the loss and abandonment will imprint his psyche.  There have been studies on this, PP.  Please look them up.  The fact that he will not remember specifics about anything is irrelevant.  A bond is an bond.  I am a child psychologist as well as a mother of three.

And please stop embarrassing yourself with comments like "You sound like an idiot".  [/quote]
