[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, the posts here are ridiculous.

OP, I would be frustrated too because the nanny totally waded into something that isn't her job - helping your DD transition into life as an older sibling.  I'm not sure if I would call it rude, but it was overstepping.

You know whether your DD needs to work on manners/not interrupting - if so, fine, and you can work on it.  Don't listen to the mean people here who act like its a crime for an excited 5 year old to want to talk to her mom when she gets home.[/quote]

OP said her child ALWAYS interrupts.  It was one of the first sentences of her post.

And yes, a nanny's job is absolutely to help the child transition into any change in his/her life!  [/quote]

1) If you don't want or trust your nanny to help your child through life transitions, you don't want a nanny. The child's safety and physical and emotional development are our primary responsibilities. Preparing a spoiled older sibling for the notion of sharing attention is very much related to their emotional development!

2) OP says her child ALWAYS interrupts. Nanny tries to tell her MB about the day but child keeps interrupting, and mom doesn't correct her so nanny is forced to. The child needs to learn boundaries, and nanny is subtly trying to convey that to the clueless mother. An excited string of babble and a hug, followed by "now mommy is going to talk with ms. Poppins before we make dinner/look at your drawing/read stories" is normal. Constantly interjecting during an adult conversation at age 5 is too much. [/quote]
