what do you do w/ a nanny who doesn't follow your rules? i'm usually home for db's nap and he always goes down w/ no crying/a few mins of crying. i told her to put db down for nap & let him cry for up to 15 mins. she didn't. she has a different philosophy than me and does it out of the goodness of her heart.

she won't let him cry or she let him cry for longer than 15 min. My guess is she thinks the crying is making you think that she sucks as a nanny. [ Reply | More

then you need to lay down the law. It is not unreasonable of you to expect. [ Reply | More

you're obviously pretty good at it with db. So many mom's come here and b*tch and moan about how their kids won't go down, and then we find out that they won't let their kid cio ever. You're doing great, and you're right. If you let it go on, it may spill over into bedtime as well. [ Reply | More

my worst fear is that it spills over to bedtime and continues after she leaves. this is my 3rd dcs and the other 2 are fabulous sleepers! [ Reply | More
