[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. Have you previously told her not to text unless it's an emergency? As a nanny it can be difficult to know just how informed  (if at all) MB wants to be during her workday. I've had some MBs who wanted me to check in several times a day with updates, and others who didn't want any texts unless it was a true emergency. I would try talking with her one time about it, and let her know that you trust her judgement and would prefer not to get texts while you're at work unless it's an emergency.[/quote]

You want to send me cute pix of my kid while I'm at work, send away!

He's really sick or injured and you think I need to know, or you need me to make a decision about medicine or a doctor, please, text or call.

You have some other kind of emergency: car breaks down, you break an ankle, you lock yourself out of the house, grandma shows up and demands to take DC ... yes, contact me.

You want to tell me he's making your job difficult today, wait until I get home or set up a time to talk about strategies to handle it. Otherwise, I think what you're saying is that either you can't handle it, or that you want me to feel badly for you. That's a terrible position to put a working mother in. Vent to a friend, or quit if you an't manage him.[/quote]
