[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were 20-40, would you want to hang out with a 60 year old who is basically the age of your mom?  [/quote]OP you just got your answer right there. [/quote]

Believe me, I understand that 100% - I don't want to hang out with 20-40 year old either.  I am doing this for my charge who would benefit from being at other kids' houses especially as the weather changes and we spend less time outdoors.

The 20-40 year olds don't have a problem eating our snacks, using our paints and paper, play-dough, sensory bins, and toys.  The mothers actually ask me a lot of child development questions but no - I don't need new friends.  My little charge does.  [/quote]

My nanny found friends for my child at our local playground. She got to know the other nannies and moms there, and then they set up play dates. That just seems like a better way to get the reciprocal relationships established. What you're doing now actually makes you seem less accessible, because you are the organizer/leader/teacher, which is intimidating for a lot of people, and you're older.

Why did the other nanny invite you over? I don't know, but I'm guessing that you are relating to her differently, and may have even communicated with her more as a peer/friend than the SAHMs. And, you may have let her know the reasons you were doing these circle times in a way that has not been communicated to the moms.[/quote]
