Any nanny who thinks his/her opinion trumps my own will not work for me.  Hopefully I'd never hire that person in the first place but it sure wouldn't work out if somehow we didn't realize right away that we were incompatible.

The father's reaction to OP was reasonable and appropriate and not micromanaging in any way.  OP's approach sounded reasonable also.  I don't see a huge problem here, assuming these parents and nanny work together well most of the time.

I love when our nanny finds new fun things to do with the kids.  And she appreciates when I send her ideas of things I've heard about, or have tried with them that were fun.  We work together and are a good team.

But I'm the parent.  And I make the decisions about anything as important as religious exposure.  And if there is any doubt whatsoever in a nanny's mind about the appropriateness of that then you need to have your own children.

Flame away.  This is pretty basic employer/employee stuff.  It's having a boss and a job versus being a company owner (or parent).

My kid, my rules.  That isn't "sick microamanagement".

Some of you are nuts.  Some parents are nuts also - of course.  But this board is such a toxic place for highlighting the worst of the worst, it's unreal.[/quote]
