Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Nanny badmouthing on playdate post freaks me out. I think my nanny is wonderful, but how can you ever really know? Even with a nanny cam, my nanny is out and about at least 50% of the day.

[ Reply | More ]I think you know- SAHM here with tons of WOHM friends- when you have a good nanny- you almost always will get positive feedback from your friends or people who interact with her- I always make it my business to say something as I think my friends would love to hear it. If a nanny is just OK or meh then I don't say anything- but if the nanny is bad- you bet your a** I would call the mom and feel the need to say something. If you never hear anything at all from anyone, then I would be more suspicious- this of course depends on the age of your dc- things come out more when your dc becomes more active.

i am a sahm and i see nannies all of the time who are yelling for no good reason or completely ignoring kids. strapped down in a stroller with a bribe/treat while socializing on phone or with friends- for hours. and all they do is complain about the parents-- in front of dc.
