[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the grandmother.  When I go to visit my grandchild when my son and DIL aren’t there, the nanny is very much in charge.  My son and DIL support this.

Example:  I want to go to the park with my grandchild.  Nanny said that my grandchild has been at school all morning and she wants to keep her home to play.

I have to ask to do everything.

Is this the norm?  [/quote]

Talk to the parents and understand the child's routine better. Maybe after morning school is lunch and nap time/downtime. Maybe playground time is in the AM while at school and again at 4pm when s/he awakes from nap.

Do not take a young child to the playground during nap time - of course the child will power through and play play play. But the problem is then that same child is later very overtired, clumsy, iratable, and prone to accidents/getting hurt. Just ask what time to come by for a walk to the park or playground this week. Or else save it for the weekend.

yes, the nanny is in charge. [/quote]
