[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They wouldn't resent the nanny if they had proper one to one time with your DD :) You should arrange for both grandmas to spend more quality time with her, maybe on weekends?
Or even on the nanny's time if the grandmas don't work and can make it.
These "crap" comments only reflect the fact they wish they'd spend more time with their grand daughter :)[/quote]

OP here.  Neither are available to take over for the nanny ( nor would I trust one of them) and weekends are DH and my time with our child.  No, abs, I will not sacrifice my time.  [/quote]

That's the issue then. Do you trust them with your dd for a couple hours? My mom and mil come over at 4 and take over from the nanny until I get home at 5:30 once a week each. That has really helped them be confident in caring for dd and for her to have a relationship with them. We do also see them on weekends all together but that's so becaue we are all close. But the weekday times have helped a lot. Dd used to cry when nanny left and now happily goes with either grandma and waves bye to the nanny (20 months old). 
Of dd only sees ten sparingly she won't have a relationship with them and not feel comfortable with them and prefer he nanny no matter what at this age. I do sacrifice some weekend time but I do it because I want dd to know and love her grandparents and to give them this too. I had a wonderful relationship with my grandmother lasting until she passed when I was just out of college. We wrote letters and talked on the phone when my family moved further away. [/quote]
