[quote=Anonymous]I started a new job, and I am dealing with an overbearing grandmother. My job isn't the typical nanny position because I bring my child, and the family will bring their son to my apartment most of the day. I will begin at their house and leave an hour later. We live in the same apartment building. We both have 1-year-olds, and it seems like the perfect arrangement. Anyway, I'm dealing with an overbearing grandmother. She will be leaving the country soon. I am not entirely sure when, but most likely mid-July or the end of July. Anyway, she comes to my apartment because we felt this would help their baby transition better. Today she mentioned I seemed tired and also gave me unsolicited advice about adding on to my family. She said I wouldn't have enough energy to have more children. I have two children now. Honestly, I think she's right about me having more children, but that's just bad manners. I took it as she thinks I don't have enough energy to keep up with two toddlers. She continues to voice her concerns about the toddlers hurting each other, and she's concerned that I can't handle them. I think she dramatic. She turns off my AC because she's hot and talks on the phone most of the day in a language I cannot understand. I hear my baby's name in the conversation, so I feel like she's talking about me. Talk about being uncomfortable in your own home, Lol.   Of course, I am low energy because I entertain her all day. I think I am going to suck it up, but I wonder how
I should bring up anything to the mom. I turned down a preschool teaching position for this position. I have another non-nanny job I am considering. I don't want to make it about the mom's bad manners s though. Any advice?

Please note this is mainly a rant. Only you all can understand how weird these positions can get. [/quote]
