[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I mean, I knew I worked for a great family but this is crazy! Of course I adjust the thermostat - the kids and I are the only ones home during the day and thus it falls to me, AS THE ONLY ADULT PRESENT, to keep the home at a reasonable temperature. I also open windows if I feel it needs to be aired out and open/close blinds to allow/block sun as I feel necessary. While MB is home on maternity leave this summer it will be a discussion rather than an action ("Do you mind if I turn it down a few degrees or are you already too chilly?") but if there are no other adults at home, why wouldn't the nanny make adjustments as needed??[/quote]

If the expectations are wildly different, it does need to come down to communication. I'd never expect our nanny to have the house a more extreme temp than we are willing to tolerate, but I also wouldn't be thrilled to keep the house much below 76 in the summer or over 72 in the winter. We go a few degrees above/below that when we are home in order to save money. Now, of course there are homes where a particular space just gets cooler or hotter, and if it were the case that our play space,that would be a different story. But the majority of our home is in line with the thermostat. [/quote]
