[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father, a devoted Fox News watcher since he retired,  made an idiotic and insulting comment to our nanny regarding politics once.  Our nanny tried to politely get away from him but he persisted and made her extremely uncomfortable.  I apologized for him and did make it clear to her that she would never have to be in the same room with him again.  When DD's next "event" came around, I invited our nanny and not my father.  Our nanny's presence at this even meant far more to DD than her grandfather's presence ever would.

The bottom line is that your father does not need to be there everyday while your nanny does.  Show her that you support her.  [/quote]

Sounds like you have your priorities all mixed up. You value your employee more than your own father? I can PROMISE you that your grandfather is more important in your child's life than a nanny. It's really sad that you are sabotaging that relationship before your daughter has the chance to decide for herself if she wants to have a grandfather in her life.[/quote]

It depends on the grandfather.  Not every grandmother and grandfather are good for children to be around. A loving nanny who cares about your children can easily be more important than a toxic and rude grandparent.

I have a very difficult Mother in Law. She says and does things that I don't want my children to be exposed to on a regular basis.  For example, my children are biracial and she has said several things about the texture of their hair and skin color. Things like "Thank goodness their hair isn't course and just turned out curly" or "we are so lucky that their skin isn't darker", etc.

She is also very rude to our nanny, so we limit the time that she spends with any of us.  Obviously she will always be their grandmother, but I value our nanny's loving and caring relationship with my children way more than I do hers.  [/quote]
