[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question, no snark intended: what would you prefer her response be instead of "I know."?

Same question to the second scenario. What are your expectations? What do you want her to say?[/quote]

I would expect her to act interested in sharing information/stories about the thing the two of them have in common: her charge. That's not micromanaging; it's relating to another person who presumably shares your interest in something. A comment or two about what the child did over the weekend should be met with, at the very least, polite interest from someone who presumably cares about that child.[/quote]

I agree. Our nanny would come in Monday morning asking about the kids weekend right away. I didn't have to tell her anything. She's now no longer our nanny (we do APs) and she calls quite often asking about the kids, wanting to visit.

That's the kind of person you want watching your kids. [/quote]

This nanny, I am sure, is interested in her charge.  What she isn't interested in is an MB who never gives her credit for that fact that the nanny is teaching him things during the week.  I have much the same situation in that my MB will always tell me on Monday mornings what her parents taught her daughter to do over the weekend - and it is always something I have been working with her on for weeks.   [/quote]

Maybe the problem is you are so cold and uninterested in conversing with your employer that they don't know what you are supposedly working with their child on. I wouldn't believe your story if you were to claim you often mentioned working on X and Y and then the parents still can in on Mondays and said "Grandma taught DS X yesterday."

In other words try to be a better and more sociable employee and talk with your employer instead of running out the door exactly at 6pm and maybe you will have a better relationship and more enjoyable life.[/quote]
