[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nanny frequently asked my 4 year old whether she was allowed to do something when she was new. If my 4 year old told her she was allowed to use/cut up a random rope in the garage, I’m quite sure the nanny would have believed her and allowed her to do it. My 4 year old doesn’t tend to lie about these things though, so if I found out she did, I’d be mad at her and not the nanny (unless, I guess, the lie was super outlandish/apparent in which case I’d be mad at both of them). My nanny occasionally accidentally uses food we’re saving or crafts we’re saving or whatever, but she’s entertaining my kids 10 hours a day/5 days/week, so this seems like a small sacrifice. She obviously doesn’t do it on purpose and would never use something if we asked her not to explicitly.[/quote]

Why is she checking with a preschooler, not you?!

I’ll ask kids whose clothes are on the floor, who didn’t make their bed or who left a mess on the table.  But to ask them whether Mommy is planning on using x for dinner later this week or Daddy is planning to use y for a craft with kids?  No, those are adult questions.[/quote]
