[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I too spend more time sitting around when the grandparents come to visit. Not because I am lazy but because I am aware that the grandparents flew thousands of miles to see their grand-kids and I don't want to interfere with their playing/bonding.

I agree that this is typical.  I am always grateful that my nanny is gracious to and engages with visiting grandparents.  This does mean more coffee/tea/chat breaks for the nanny, so less gets done around the house, but it also requires the nanny to be "on" all day in a way that is different from when she is alone with the kids.  My nanny seems to enjoy the company, and I think that the extra social time is good because it enables the nanny to talk to my kids about their grandparents and support those relationships when the grandparents are not in town.  Also, chatting with the nanny has given both my mom and MIL a greater sense of connectedness to the children's day to day life, which has made them big fans of the nanny and far more comfortable with my decision to work than they otherwise might be.[/quote]
