| Yes I have seen SuperNanny, and I am a trained Nanny...Thats what makes it all the worse! I know what to do, the problem is how to do it. I need her parents to back down, but most of the time one of them is home when I work (they don't really need a nanny, their home most of the time, and the grandparents are there tues, wend,an thurs). So they give in to the fits, she is even worse for her parents but its easy to ignore the problem when you choose not to deal with it. | |

I, too, think you are fighting a losing battle.
IF you could talk to the parents and they listened;
IF you managed to convince them that they must back down;
IF they were prepared to do this (knowing what they should do and doing it are two very different things)
there would be quite a long 'learning process' in which you would be educating one child, one father, one mother, two grandparents...
Even if all four adults understand that THEY have to change, it won't happen overnight. It is not fun to have been 'dear Mummy' for several years and suddenly become 'you are as horrible as Nanny' when the rules are changed.
I would suggest you start looking for another job!
Just this once, I'd love to be wrong...
