[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses but MB just had a new baby and I cannot add anything else to her plate right now.   I hate this situation and I hate what the grandparents are doing to my poor charge but all four of them will be gone on January 2nd so I just have to grin (or grimace) and bear it.  [/quote]

No.no
  Tough.  You are the nanny and it is your MB's job to tell them that[b] YOU AND ONLY YOU[/b] are in charge.  It is [b]unconscionable [/b]that she is allowing this to take place.  Be assertive for yourself because you are not their doormat.  She had a baby not open heart surgery. [/quote]

Oh my, aren't you dramatic! OP, and all the other nannies complaining about grandparents (heaven forbid another adult be present when you are doing your job) need to figure out how to adapt to the situation or have an adult conversation.  :roll: How do some of you manage to exist in the real world?[/quote]

Oh, fuck off, Troll.  [/quote]

Wow, apparently I struck a nerve.  I'm not sure how any of you have assessed that I am a grandparent or have never been a nanny (must be those incredible internet psysic powers so many people on this ANONYMOUS board posses). I am a former nanny who has had grandparents visit around the holidays with all of my charges, my twin toddler charges grandparent's stayed for two weeks at a time. I've posted on here about it before. Yes, it was a pain but we adapted. We left the house often and, shocker, sometimes even INVITED the grandparents to join us in activities, and just generally dealt with a week or two of a routine being off...sometimes it was actually fun!  I have never had a grandparent undermine my authority or pit me against MB/DB, but I suspect that is because I am an adult and a professional who is capable of interacting with other adults in a mutually respectful way...which doesn't seem to be the case with most of the "nannies" here.

OMG!  You are just so effing wonderful you are too wonderful to EFF![/quote]
