Subject: Communication Problem w/ parent Author: Jamie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:35:34 11/12/03 Wed Hi everyone! I need some advice... I've been a nanny for about 6 months now. I moved out of state to nanny for 2 middle age boys. The boys are great, we get along wonderful, which is the root of the problem. This morning the littlest one was pulling the ribbon in my hair, I told him to quit, he kept doing it, however, we were completely joking around. His mother overheard and came storming back in and told him he wanted to speak to him provately. I overheard though, she told him that if I didn't punish him she would. Then I just got a call from her. She said that she was disturbed by what happened and that I need to set boundaries and limitations with him so he knows who is in charge. We have that, when I tell him to stop or to go do something and seriously mean it, he does it. I tried to tell her that, but she wouldn't beleive it because she "has witnessed it before". It's like she has to be right, even though she has no clue what is going on. I'm not sure how to handle this one. I can be reached at jsuewatson@hotmail.com [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
