[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my new mantra.  I am tired of every tiny decision I make regarding my charge being questioned and contradicted.  From now on I will have no opinion or advice when asked - "whatever you feel is best" is my new response to anything and everything MB asks.  If she feels that my charge should never touch a leaf or blade of grass due to the potentially toxic pesticides which are banned in our area - fine.  His feet and hands will never leave the stroller again.  If she feels that non-fat milk is the best choice for a 20 month old baby - fine.  No more discussion from me.

I will continue to do the very best I can for my charge within his mother's guidelines.  I am done receiving constant criticism when the choice is left to me and I always seem to make the wrong choice in her eyes.  (If I make him broccoli, MB tells me it should have been green beans.  If I make him green beans, MB tells me it should have been broccoli.)

I have been my charge's nanny since he was born.  Everyone tells me how wonderful I am with him - his "Parent & Me" teacher, the librarians at the children's library, the "Music Together" teacher, neighbors who see us out and about -- but all I ever hear from MB is what she thinks I am doing wrong.  My weekend nanny job made me realize how bad the MB/DB of my weekday job are.

I stay in this job ONLY because I love my charge and am not happy with any thought of leaving him.

Vent over.  Thank you.  [/quote]

I certainly don't want to hand hold my nanny through things, so I'd get sick of that fast. 
I noticed you praise yourself and give examples only of fun stuff like outings and playing. What about the equally important things such as nutrition, meal planning, cleaning up habits, nap time discipline, and potty training? Nannying is more than guzzling up play classes, and you have to be good at it all to do well. [/quote]

You see going to library story time with a room full of two and three year olds "fun stuff"?!  [b]LOL  You need to get out more,[/b] PP.  [b]Clearly you have never [/b]been to one or a Music Together Class or Parent & Me with a two-year-old.  [b]You're an ass[/b], PP, and offer no help to OP whatsoever.  [b]Do you seriously think [/b]that a nanny who is reprimanded for serving broccoli over green beans is going to get any say whatsoever in potty training, meal planning, nap time discipline, etc.?  [/quote]

Folks, now here is someone you should have watching your children 9 hours a day.  What a role model indeed. [/quote]

LOL  God, PP you really are an ass!  But thanks so much for my first good laugh of the day!  [/quote]
