[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I talked to the nanny about the use of language. I talked about how in my culture, we joke a lot and how I know how much she loves Susie and Johnny. I know she loves them as I hear her playing and saying "I love you" and she always is so happy to be around them. I also see how hard she works to take good care of them. Two infants is a lot of work! I said, "in my culture, we joke a lot. I noticed you said Susie was whining. What did you mean by that?" She said that she was just frustrated that Susie was trying to take Johnny's food. I explained to her that my husband and I had very critical parents as children and how language plays out as kids develop. I explained how saying someone is "lazy and spoiled" is negative. She told me she was just joking. I really do believe her. I have noticed her not using those words anymore. [/quote]

Good for you.  It sounds like you handled it well and she got the message.  That bodes well for your long term relationship with her.  [/quote]
