I am a Nanny who has started work with a family last December. It seemed like a great job at first, but now I am compleatly frusterated. The problem is the 4 yr. girl and the tantrums she throws; like 3 to 5 times a day. Its exausting, and stressful.

Although the real problem is her parents, who don't really want to parent her. She is throwing the tantrums because Mummy and Daddy give in to them. The best example I can give is one day she came home from preschool and told everyone that she wasn't going back because in her words "They don't listen to ME!" I laughed it off; her parents never made her go back. Of course I know its really not her fault, she is only doing what works.

Basically Ive had enough of dealing with her all day, I can't change her bad behavour unless her parents change theirs. Ive tried to brouch the subject a few times but it falls on deaf ears. Last night they even told me "She is only bad with you, it never happens with us. Its your problem" So basically should I come out and tell them they need to step it up? Or just leave? Is it overstepping the boundries to tell them they need to start parenting their child?
