[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay as an MB here I see where you're coming from.  Just to provide another perspective though, they are her kids.  She's probably tired, hormonal and maybe feeling some level of guilt at not being able to give the kids as much attention since the baby came.  If she wants to hang out with them in the am or over lunch for a short period of time, what's the harm?  At the end of the day she is their parent.  I understand it's inconvenient and I'm not trying to minimize that, but if it's for a limited time, maybe in the interest of harmony it would be worth just focusing on the fact the leave will end soon.  Don't y'all jump on me now - I'm not saying nannies should just roll over and take anything - but from a mom perspective those postpartum days are hard and a little compassion goes a long way.[/quote]

Reasonable advice. I currently deal with two parents who are either traveling or working from home in the living room, inexplicably. I hate making the toddler cry when I take her away because she wants mom and dad to pay attention to her. They’re teasing her with their presence and I feel bad for my charge.  My MB is about to be on maternity leave once she delivers this month, so I’m expecting chaos and drudgery for most of maternity leave. Part of being a good nanny is accepting parts of the job are absurd and sometimes parents make things harder than they'd be if you were on your own with the kids. I’m towards the end of my career as a nanny primarily because Work from home is the new standard. It’d be great if it meant fewer hours or something but since it doesn’t I plan to move into another field. [/quote]
