awesome how biased and racist you sound.

I think she was complaining about the grandparents not the parents so not sure how the parents are the "worse"

I would sit down with the parents of the child and discuss how the grandparents are making you feel uncomfortable and that you are not a maid, rather a caregiver and you shouldnt be treated rudely.

Also, speaking from experience, grandparents never change. I'm afghan and my parents are set in their ways when watching my kids. I hired someone to help my mom watch my two kids prior to them going to pre school and it was a complete failure. I had to let her go because my mom couldnt let go of the mentality that caregivers are like maids in india/pakistan/afghanistan/middle east generally speaking.

Hopefully, they have a short stay and you dont deal with it much longer.


You are confirming the PP point!

You “had to let her go” even though this was your mother’s poor manners?



If the grandparents are annoying and bossy then let them take care of thier grandson/granddaughter. Let's see if they can handle it lol Maybe they want to bond more but no reason to be mean to employees working there.

Ignore them is a good idea like to any another annoying coworker. If the pay was good I would stay but not worth it. I want to be happy in ny job.

Give them the required notice and move on. If you are good, you'll find another job quickly.
"I hope she doesn't learn those bad manners of her grandparents.". That's overkill, but I understand since you are upset and they just wasted your time and theirs.

I have that situation with one grandmother who, luckily, I don't see very often. It is miserable but I simply refuse her demands and ignore her rudeness.

How long are they going to be there?

If permanently, the circumstances have changed and you need to renegotiate. Let mb and dB know that the current situation is untenable, but if they can solve it, you’d be happy to stay. Give some suggestions: grandparents go somewhere during nap time, you go somewhere every morning at the same time (library, park, class, tot gym, etc.). Let them know they have a week to figure it out or you will need to start looking for another position.

If it’s temporary, state the issues and let them know that you are taking your vacation and/or sick time due to this situation for a week while they come up with a solution. After that, you will need to be paid, but they need to make sure you are required to work with grandparents criticizing and giving you orders. Suggest something along the lines of handing granddaughter off for a few hours every morning, so she can play and spend time with them while not tired, but emphasize that you will need to keep her on the normal schedule.

I'm a nanny taking care of a girl of 2 years old for 6 months.
Everything was great until her grandparents came and are staying at home in the apartment. Grandparents are bossing me around every minute, calling me "come here" instead of my name like I'm a slave "and do this". They wanted me to do everybody's laundry, I said no, I only do the kids. INSANE. I've never met such people with no manners at ALL. IM NOT YOUR SLAVE.
I told the parents but the girls mom doesn't care and is just listening to her parents, of course. The mom said to stay inside all day with the grandparents!! No way Jose. I'm gonna miss my charge but she will be fine. I hope she doesn't learn those bad manners of her grandparents. If they didn't need me anymore then it's fine, I would have understand.

Nannies, you never have to go through this, stand up for yourselves. Don't let ANYBODY treat you any less. You are amazing caregivers giving your love and time to these little ones.


If you don’t mind may I asking you where are they from originally?
I doubt Indian or paki


Indian here. Haha is this a joke?
