[quote=Anonymous]I have been a Nanny for a fifteen-mos. old little boy for the past six mos.
I was referred to his family by a previous family I had worked for for about ten yrs.
They were childhood friends.

I had some things that I wanted to discuss w/the Mom last week.
My personal belief is that since there is a child involved, that if either the Nanny or the parent has any questions/concerns/issues, etc., then it is best to discuss directly vs. keeping things inside where they could potentially boil over later.

In the past when I have had an issue w/a parent, I usually discuss it w/the parent I have an issue with.
And everything worked out well in the end.

But my current NF is different.
When we met - the Mother had the Father there so basically it was 2-1.
Whenever I discussed something w/the Mom, the Dad would chime in.... 
Agreeing w/everything she said.

Which ended up w/me backing down on certain things since I felt like there is power in numbers.
I walked out feeling like they were both against me, that their influence was stronger since there was two of them and one of me & didn’t feel they listened to me objectively.
In other words, anything one said they BOTH agreed.

I feel awkward now like I just do not want to show up for work on Monday.  :cry:  :? [/quote]
