Re: Nanny's husband spending time with my daughter, not sure how to deal with the situation?

If you are not happy I would talk to the nanny. But also why not invite them over for a Christmas drink one evening - means you can interrogate him and find out what he does / done.
I would also ask for a dbs if he wants to be in your house and around you children.

Re: Devastated by husband's announcement

Three years ago to the day I was in the same situation. It was slightly different as he was having an affair and I was heavy pregnant with our 2 child. After lots of his friends telling him the grass wasn’t always greenier and counselling we are on the rd to recovering. So if you can talk to his fri...

Re: Unfair on husband?

You sound like you have been having a tough time for far too long, and it can’t be that great for the kids to hear / see. Personally I would write him a letter over a few days / wk and arrange a few date nights / days out / evenings in ;) and if after that he still doesn’t want to make an effort - f...

Re: Nanny plus one

Is the job the same and are her duties the same? When was the last time you gave her a pay rise / bonus? Is your child being effected? Are you willing for he to find Another family? I would ask myself these question before making a decision and if you value your nanny and can afford to pay her then ...

Re: Cleaner - holiday pay?

Why wouldn't you pay her??? It's how she pays her bills. If you can afford to go on holiday and it is short notice you should pay her. Like others have stated she could come an do extra but your choice again not to have her come in. A good cleaner is difficult to come by so if you want to keep her y...

Re: Have you lost weight and kept it off? Pls share how!

Drinking more water - snacking on greens - cutting out white carbs. Increasing intensity of exercise - as a mum I haven't got hours or the inclination to go to the gym! Highly recommend quick workouts of 45 minutes with the children - like today even in the rain the boy enjoyed seeing mum squating a...

Re: Nanny problem - her child is weeing on our carpets!!

Maybe in this situation but it's very unfair to generalise all nannies+ own child. It's not what the OP was asking advice about. I would say the family I work for choose me so their son had a friend to play with and grow and learn with, which is much more beneficial than anything that I could teach ...

Re: Nanny problem - her child is weeing on our carpets!!

I fully agree that - it's completely unreasonable to potty train when I child is not ready and if she wishes too she should have waited until her holidays. If this was me (I'm a nanny and mother with a child who comes with me!!!) I would be offering to get the carpets / flooring prof cleaned. But I ...
