[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11:43 again - when you're interviewing your next candidate, I would be really upfront about that fact that while you are flexible in a lot of ways (give examples of where you'd give the nanny full control), there are some areas where you really want things to be done in line with your parenting style and be specific about those areas - sleep, food, diapers, limited screen time, etc. Confirm that the nanny is on board with respecting the parents' wishes (as long as it's not harmful).

I did that when finding our new nanny and it really helped get us started on the right foot. She's a parent as well and she was able to sympathize with the fact that as a parent, you just want some things done your way when it comes to your kid.[/quote]
Would you feel like a little spanking is "harmful"?[/quote]

Are you trying to derail the thread into a debate over where the line is when it comes to what is harmful? I have an opinion in answer to your question, but I don't want to participate in the side show you're trying to start. [/quote]
Precisely my point, thank you. What I might think is "harmful," you might not.

And Btw, I had left the lawyer mom who told me to spank her two year old. She believed, as you do, that she had the authority to call the shots. Sorry, but not with me, or any professional nanny, FYI.

Just get a sitter and all your problems will be solved. How easy is that?[/quote]
Sounds like you didn't screen your employers very well.  Just get a dumb first-time mom you can bully. How easy is that?[/quote]
