[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a disasterous plan, OP!!! Possibly the worst I have ever heard!!

[b]Your baby needs consistency and security which you will be destroying every week![/b]  Absolutely tell your mother "no".  First, in order to get a good nanny, you are going to have to pay her anyway for the off weeks.  And second, your mother doesn't realize that she will also be responsible for the baby's laundry, sterilizing bottles and toys, making purées, cleaning the baby's room, etc.

And third, do you really want your mother "working" for you, OP?  And can your mother commit to flying up here every other week with no exception?

Seriously, you are setting everyone up for a world of hurt with this plan and it is your poor baby who will suffer the most.  [/quote]

This, OP.  Please rethink this terrible plan for your child's sake.  My advice would be to hire a great full time nanny and your mother can come up and visit anytime she wants with private time with the baby.  But the nanny calls the shots and handles the schedule, sleep hygiene, baths -- your mom is there to assist and visit.  She will be happier being a grandma and not a nanny.  [/quote]
