[quote=Anonymous]It is not hypocracy to have certain times for certain things. Allowing a child to regularly watch TV while mom cooks dinner does not suggest to the kid that mom says X while nanny says Y about TV - it tells the kid that TV time is during dinner-fixing time.

And I am very sorry for the nannies who are overworked and get NO break during nap time due to too many chores. I would agree that's a problem. If you haven't already discussed that w/ your MB, you really need to - she may not realize that you're getting no downtime. (If she does and you work a full day then she's a jerk and you should job hunt.) Virtually every single MB I have ever seen post on here 100% agrees nannies deserve some decent break time - the difference is that MBs want that to happen during nap time for about an hour while some (not all) nannies on here seem to keep insisting it needs to be during wake-time for the kids or for much longer periods of time.

And I would also say that if you nanny a full day (i.e. 8 hours or more) for kids that don't nap then yes, it is reasonable to talk w/ MB to work out a way to make sure you have a "break", even if that means TV. But most nannies are working for little kids who nap or at least still do rest time, so that's not the majority of cases.[/quote]
