[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] No one said I dump my kids on her when off duty. She comes into our space. I should not have to put my 2 year old in a high chair or take him away from our gated family room because she wants to sit and watch tv with them. All I was asking is how do I tell her nicely, that from 7pm (time she finished) to 9pm (time kids go to bed), I would like to spend it alone with my family. I am sure most of you would not want to hangout with your boss 24/7 and vice versa[/quote]

I am a live-in nanny, and I have no idea how you would phrase it.  I would be insulted and immediately start looking for a new position if the family required me to disappear and pretend I didn't exist for a few hours every single day.  It's one thing if you specifically stated these guidelines in your profile/interview, but another to tell the person who lives with you that they are good enough to watch your children during the day but not good enough to be allowed to relax with the family in the evening.[/quote]
