[quote=Anonymous]Ridiculous responses here, as always, sorry, OP.

WFH mom and dad here with nanny and toddler boy. We are very deferential to our nanny that when she is working she is in charge and we do not intervene unless she asks for a hand (which she almost never does). We are also not prisoners in our offices who are required to hide and starve. When we come out to get food or run errands we also make eye contact with our son and wave or give him a kiss. JFC - you're his PARENTS in your own home. Of course you want to enjoy his presence. (Also the same people scolding you would also probably throw stones if you WAH and 'abandoned' him to be raised by someone else - it's just misogyny, whatever mom does is wrong.)

ANYWAY, trust your gut. Sounds like your nanny is not comfortable or has run her course. Give her a good honest effort to talk about it - ask her point blank. "We love you and so does DS but we've sensed this, is there something in the job that is making you unhappy?" Maybe she wants a raise depending on how long she's been with you? If it doesn't end in clarity and / or improvement, time to hit those nanny job boards / neighborhood listserves, etc. Not everyone is cut out for everything.

Oh and time outs are not the solution at all ages for all kids, smh...[/quote]
