[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am getting a lot of "I know" responses from our nanny lately.  She is a wonderful nanny and has been with us for 18 months.  I generally just tell her things as a reminder or just to double check on what she might be doing.  Only lately have I been getting the "I know" responses.  She also feels the need to lately to tell me "yes, he does that with me" every time I point out something cute or advanced DS did over the weekend when she never used to.

What gives?  If I am doing something wrong to elicit these responses, I really do want to know.

You are telling her things that she already knows and does, OP.  Hence the "I know" responses.  You have probably always done this but after 18 months, it is getting on her nerves.

And "yes, he does that with me" is clearly in response to you not giving her credit for what she does or what she is teaching him.  Not that she is not interested in your child anymore -- just that you probably don't give her credit for her influence and work with your child.

Example:  MB showed me a video of her father pushing my change on the swings and her father running around the swing and making my charge laugh.  MB said something like, "I can't believe how much fun he [my charge] is having!"  Well, I can believe it because I make her son laugh like that on the swing EVERY SINGLE DAY.  [/quote]
