[quote=Anonymous]16:37 here.  Perhaps it's time for your husband to be more engaged in the day to day relationship w/ the nanny.

It may not change things with your nanny but it could certainly help your marital dynamic (and help you manage nannies going forward) if he experiences what you're dealing with day to day.

My husband used to think I was being short-tempered or petty - until he started managing more of the day to day.  Then it turned out that he was even more bothered than I, and that's when we really started working well as a team.  So you could change those dynamics whether or not you change nannies.  And perhaps your nanny would respond well (or differently) to broadening her contact w/ her employers.

Presumably you are working full-time, so approach this relationship as professionally and unemotionally as you would handle more conventional workplace dynamics.  And don't take it all on yourself - IMO there is zero reason your husband shouldn't be engaging w/ the nanny more regularly.[/quote]
