[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... when your child wants the nanny and not you?  [/quote]

No. nanny is busy, we are busy, kids are busy and we all work together. Nanny's job is to provide childcare and make our lives easier so we can do our day jobs to the best of our ability. If those two things aren't happening, bye bye nanny.

Kids under 2 yo change their minds on things constantly. Kids 2-4 may "like" whomever gives them the most candy and succumbs to their temper tantrums. And kids 5+ may have a "favorite" based on what they can get away with.  End of the day OP may be asking a disciplinary question, depending on the kids ages, not a "child wants the nanny instead" weirdo question. [/quote]

Actually, kids frequently gravitate to the person who is most consistent, regardless of whether that person is stricter or more lax.  I never give candy, all food is healthy, temper tantrums and other misbehavior doesn't fly with me.  Yet because I am more consistent than the parents, the kids cling to me for stability.  That's natural, because my job is to provide that stability, and my DB understands that.  MB gets a little irrational at times, but I understand why and cut her some slack.[/quote]

Exact same situation with my job and charge.  I don't think DB care a hoot but I know it bothers MB so I always make a point of making sure to tell her that my charge asked for her during the day (even when he doesn't) or tell her things like "all kids are like that with their nannies".  [/quote]
