[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is why kids act up with mothers around:

Children feel safest with their mothers. Once a mother walks through the door,they are greeted with the uninhibited expression of a raw emotional release, after a day of holding in all kinds of feelings.

Nannies, I know your job is tough but some empathy for the child (and their mother), and the way they are acting, goes a long way.[/quote]

I disagree.  I’ve seen plenty of kids behave when parents walk in, because the parents teach self-discipline in a loving manner.  Yes, they run to give the parent a hug, but they’re not out of control, and they’re easily redirected back to the nanny until the parent changes, makes dinner and/or finishes working.  The difference is that those parents parent their children, they don’t delay or ignore teaching self-discipline in the name of quality time.[/quote]

I agree.  Far too many WOH mothers give in to every whim and demand of their child because they feel guilty.  This is not in their child’s best interest - especially in a case like OP’s employer who will have no choice but to say the occasional “no” when the new baby is born.  And then the older child will be heartbroken and resent the baby.

My kids never acted worse with me than with their nanny.  It has made for a peaceful home and great relationship with our nanny of seven years. [/quote]
