[quote=Anonymous]Op, the dynamic is really common. Your child is more comfortable with the nanny, who watches her every day for hours on end. Of course she is going to freak out with Grandma, and of course Grandma is going to feel hurt and rejected. Everyone, including the nanny, is being set up to fail here. You cannot just drop child in Grandma's arms and say "here" . You have to ease everyone into this. If the nanny doesn't come on Fridays, schedule grandma to come on Thursday evening. Then spend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as a family, so that your child and MIL can be more comfortable with one another. Nanny can come Monday and Tuesday while grandma goes wine tasting. Grandma flies out Wednesday. Facetime when it is fun and works for you both. I Facetime while driving, meaning, I give the phone to DS and hook the audio into bluetooth. I talk to my mom while DS watches the screen and sometimes chimes in. It works great![/quote]
