[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op: She makes decisions with my older kids about things they'll do on their days off without asking me, buys things for them on my credit card without checking with me.  She drops the newspaper on the floor when she arrives in the morning so I have to pick it up.[/quote]

The only thing here I might be concerned about if it were me is the credit card. However, I don’t know the situation. What did you both agree upon regarding use of the card?

She also...plans activities...for days when they’d otherwise be bouncing off the walls at home in boredom? Am I reading that right? Nannies are meant to plan things to do for the kids! I must have misunderstood. There’s no way if she’s working, and the kids have the day off, you’d be upset that they have things to do and places to go rather than sitting at home all day. If you were also off that day and wanted to spend time with your kids to do things you wanted, then I’m guessing the nanny wouldn’t be there. I’m puzzled.

Finally, about the newspaper. Like a pp said, she’s going out of her way to do you a favor by bringing it in. I understand leaving things on the floor is generally not ideal, but this is a newspaper that’s been sitting outside. Perhaps she thinks you’d rather not have it on the clean counters? Ether way, you can make a designated spot for the newspaper (a basket on a table near the front door maybe) or you can get it yourself.

By the way, none of this screams “disrespect.” These are minor issues that need to be talked about in a [i]respectful[/i] way so that you’re both on the same page. [/quote]
