[quote=Anonymous]This is par for the course when there are house guests or the 12 week maternity leave. The mom is not going to stay exciled in the basement or bedroom because the toddler is confused why Mom is home all day. Be realistic; everyone is doing the best they can. The most the mom can do -- and what mom walking past her child and seeing him crying or acting up would completely IGNoRE the situation and not pitch in?? -- is speak to the child and say "listen to nanny larla." And 2 yos don't necessarily have that kind of comprehension. If you don't like the job for other reasons, then quit. Otherwise deal with the short term transition because once she's gone back you work your have a permanent transition: caring for two children. Focus on coming up with your game plan for that - age appropriate activities, logistics, double stroller walks, playdates safe for infant and toddler, food prep, teaching toddler new stuff, sleep and eating. Training for infant, etc.. Then communicate it to Mb and impress her with that. [/quote]
