[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if I got lucky that my child was not a significant biter but i think it just depends onthe kid's personality and not a reflection of parenting.

Back in 2014, my just turned 2 year old almost bit a toddler due to toy sharing, right in front of me. I caught it in time and was mortified. But then I learned toddlers do do that before they learn how to control their emotions. It happened again about 6 months later and one last time when the child was a little over 3, then none thereafter.

The OP seems to intend well, but her over planning, risk averse, rational, and detail oriented personality is not meshing with others personalities. I happen to be analytical, worry, plan, try to prepare for/control various scenarios, plan ahead, all that. I learned that others might find me difficult in that I try to prepare for too many contingencies and it tires them out. Even my DH hints at it. I have a passive, does not think ahead or anticipate other's needs nanny (including anticipating a child's needs). There are many things she does differently than I would. But I have to remind myself she is also flexible and all of her positive traits.

A good personality fit is crucial. After reading more posts and getting more details, I am changing my PP and saying OP might want to find a new family and a new nanny. [/quote]
