[quote=Anonymous]Overall our nanny is great and DD loves her very much - I'm just venting about this here b/c I need an outlet.

Our nanny is like the typical movie character of a Jewish grandma - from the minute she comes in in the morning it's an onslaught of questions of "Why is this blanket here? Why didn't you run the dish washer last night? Why are you dressed so nicely today?" etc etc etc wanting info on every action and decision.  It's not in a bossy way, more just wanting to know EVERYTHING.  If she disagrees with someone like how I organized the closet, she won't say it directly, she will just ask me 1000 times why I did it a particular way

Anytime DD is sick its because the weather is changing or her hair was wet outside- no DD has hand foot and mouth because her friend just had it, not because it was 90 degrees yesterday and only 80 today

Any extended convo I have with her involves lamenting the tragedies of the world, the friend of a friend that died in a bizarre way 20 years ago, the cousin that was sick all the time as a child, the latest political corruption

She constantly worries she isn't doing enough for us so if I ever come home early she refuses to leave even when I pretty directly tell her to

She's overall a great fit for the needs of our family, a kind and caring person, and I would never complain about this things to her - I just needed an outlet after a morning of getting asked for the 100th time why I load the dishwasher a particular way, told judgmental gossip about a neighbor, and had to pretend I agreed my kid is sick b/c "winter is coming"
