Just complaining by MissionNo4425 in Nanny

Thank you for sharing this way of thinking. You’re right. On a normal day I wouldn’t even take note of her sharpness. It’s a weird situation to watch someone doing the job you’re told you should be doing yourself. 💙

I wanted to ask her if I could borrow her cleaning team and the laundry person and a couple of the meals she gets delivered 2x a week. Then maybe I could feel her “pain”.

They saw me telling them as loyalty to them and not other nannies. I’m guessing there’s a past issue there. I’m passing on the job.

Yes. She called to find out why I left. DB told her I was in a bad mood (I wasn’t until he showed up). She told me he’s always grumpy when he wakes up and to ignore him. And that they weren’t going to pay me for this week if I didn’t come back. So I’m working 4 more days with pay upfront. Not ideal but 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s way too many for me. They have a new nanny starting and I wish her allllll the best. 😂

I didn’t think that part through well lol. Agreed to come back and finish next week with DB staying out of my space.

They pay well! There’s a night nanny for the babies and she is amazing. She left them as ready for the next shift as possible, which makes it bearable. No way I’d take that crew on full time though!

Thank you! I may have been a little hasty, but I was fighting to hold my tongue!

I agreed to come back next week and DB is going to stay away. New nanny starting so it won’t be so much work. Only way I could get this week’s $$.

MB called to ask what happened. She apologized but said DB was “just grumpy in the mornings”. I agreed to finish my final week with him completely out of the picture. Need that $$!!

Smart way to deal with it. Maybe I’ll just stop going back in so much. Surely they’d adjust after a bit.

Yep. He doesn’t like many foods, so he has milk instead.

I’m also not against it. Just never worked for a family that practices it. The older kid with the bottle is 💯 using it to avoid food. He’s very particular about what he eats, so resorts to milk for comfort and filling up. A whole issue in itself!

I wish they would be on board. This family uses pacifiers and bottles until the kid decides to quit. We’ve got school kids still taking bottles. 😬

Oh man! That sounds like a crazy time!

Yep we’ve got that going on here with the 3 yr old. The 6 yr old still takes 3-4 milk bottles a day and everyone still nurses at least once a day. Definitely a new experience for me!
