[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP.

Post is partially made up but the story is true.  I am actually the husband of the wife who told our nanny everything in the original post.  This is our first child and I feel my wife is being extremely possessive and also somewhat jealous.  In some fairness, there are other underlying issues with the nanny in play (for one, wife thinks nanny is constantly hoarding the baby).

I was hoping I could show these responses to my wife so she would see the light, but it has backfired.  Instead, now I am a bad husband who feels the need to seek out other's opinions instead of supporting her.  Now "I mean nothing to you" and she can't believe I would listen to other's opinions over hers.  "I would always support you over everyone else."  etc etc.  It's out of control.

I asked her to apologize to the nanny however she is sticking hard to her original statements.  I want to say something to the nanny myself but won't because that will make things a lot worse between my wife and I.

Maybe we should just fire the nanny and have my wife quit her job, because I don't know at this point if having a nanny is compatible with her character.

Sorry OP you got so many snarky comments. Sounds like you need a nanny that has experience working with new mom's, your wife is not the first to get upset that someone could be taking her place. You need a nanny with good communication skills and a big heart to see from the mom's side. Your wife does need to understand that it will be natural for your baby to cling to the nanny especially if she is with your baby full time. I have worked with several new moms and the thing I tell the child is " So many people love you lots, and so do I" tell your wife it is good for a baby to feel love from more then one person but no one takes the place of mom. Your nanny needs to have a healthy connection to mom.[/quote]
