[quote=Anonymous]OP, you must be a first-time mom.....

To say that being 15 minutes off of "schedule" is a big deal and affects your son's entire night of sleep is ridiculous. If that IS true in some way, then I would say your baby is on TOO strict of a schedule if he cannot easily adjust to a few minutes here, a few minutes there. As one PP said: babies are not robots. If your nanny truly is great, as you said, she will be looking out for your son's best interests and know when to put him down.

IMO, your DC may be going through a phase (which ALL kids do, regardless of age) and you just need to tough it out. I'm sorry you're "one tired mama," but that's what motherhood is about. Be lucky that you get to stay home with your son at all during the week. Besides, with one baby (assuming your a first-time mom, as I mentioned) you really should not be THAT tired. You said he sleeps well during the day, so why aren't you napping with him on your days home? I have 3 kids, work part-time as you do, and employ a nanny. Somehow everything gets done, everyone lives, and I have made it through. You will too.

BTW, I think it's weird that you changed the baby's age....I'm sure THAT wouldn't be the identifying clue to tip off your nanny or whomever you don't want finding out you wrote the post. How can people give you appropriate advice without knowing the age of the child?? (I.e. sleep patterns according to age, etc) [/quote]
