[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She says he is too cold and crying because of the cold. She used to take him outside between morning and afternoon nap but stopped before Christmas, and now it has become our new reality. I know from past experience that it is better not to tell her "what to do" since she believes she always knows what is the best for my child. What happens if I do tell her that I do not like the idea of my child being stuck inside? I do not want to upset her since she has been an excellent employee so far.[/quote]

This is complete nonsense.  I am assuming, because of the nap schedule, that your child is still a baby, and you don't have to worry about him climbing or walking through snow.  I'm from Eastern Europe.  We go outside most days and you would be laughed out of the room if you said anything below 45 is too cold.  Two things are the explanation.  First, your baby is not bundled up enough. Most babies are extremely happy to be outside if dressed properly.  Second - more likely - your nanny does not want to go out!! This is a management problem.  Tell her to bundle up and go out.  It's gonna be a long winter. [/quote]
