Hmmmmm interesting

The DB came home last night at 6.55pm and said could I stay an extra half hour so he could eat his KFC and get changed. I mean WTF? Does he not think I want to eat my tea and get home. So selfish. I said no she he was then whining about how he had let me go early the day before but that isn''t the point. Mom was saying as a surgeon probably no one ever says no to him so he is used to just getting his own way and wouldn't know how to react when I said no to him. Purlease, I mean I am not getting into things like that with this family. Why can't he just eat dinner when baby E is there. She's no trouble. He should try eating his food when looking after I, S, H and M LOL (My last charges) Baby E is a piece of cake and I managed to make her two full fresh meals and do the washing all while she was sitting playing. The guy wasn't dressed this morning when I arrived. He said she wouldn't let him ffs but she was just sitting there on the bed so no reason why he couldn't get dressed. Pathetic.

I tell you if Nannies just dealt with babies it would be much easier. The parents are the bigger babies. It does worry me that I feel this way already. Its not really a great sign. I'll stay for the money and because the baby is adorable. She is such a character. She closes her eyes and does this funny face and she gives me these looks almost like rolling her eyes. It's funny. She makes me laugh. Thank God for babies.

Just need a moan

Things are never straight forward in my jobs. I have no idea if there are even any normal nanny families out there anymore.

Got to work this morning to find the baby is sick again. I'm supposed to stay in the room or in the next room to her while she sleeps which I am now in her nursery and she is in the spare room.

The house is a complete tip but the MB at least said not to bother with it but not to leave the baby for 5 minutes. Oh and DB is coming home in an hour after a night shift so he will be here but hopefully in bed. I've been out for a half hour walk once in the two weeks since I started here and the baby has been sick the whole time.

The baby is on antibiotics, thrush medicine, calpol and nurofen. The MB also told me to give her lots of milk but she has never ever taken milk from me. She won't even take it from her Dad. Been here since 6.30am aswell.

On top of this the clothes that I hung up to dry are still all hanging there and it was Wednesday last week that I was last here. No one seems to do anything round here. The kitchen is a pigsty. There's no milk so no cuppa for me. No bread so had to use bread from my lunch to have for my breakfast. Got no chance of going out for any.


AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I understand they're worried about the baby but most people manage to worry about the baby but still function as a household.

Just needed a moan.

And so it begins

Sod this always remaining positive lark. I need to be able to vent. Things are difficult right now. The baby is still sick. She has a cold now on top of everything else. I think maybe it is just the illness coming out of her at last. The MB thought it was an allergy last night which it so obviously isn't and she is a Doctor. So another day stuck in. I'm not blaming the parents but it is really hard and isolating.

The MB knocked on my door at 6.30am to say that DB had to leave early. I hate that. If he had told me last night I would have got up early. I know I am supposed to be flexible but I like to know what I'm doing and then she stood there telling me all these important details and I was half asleep and not retaining any of it.

Seems they think I don't change the baby's nappy enough. She is meant to have 4 changes through the day, every 3 hours. It does bug me when parents don't let me use my judgement but I guess she is their baby so I'll change her and waste a nappy whether she is wet or not.

DB took Baby E last night around 3.30pm when he got home. I stupidly thought he would know what to do with her and ended up kind of being blamed for her not having her tea because he never thought to give it to her. I'm sorry but this guy is a Doctor. Silly me for assuming he would know his child needs food to survive. I don't think it is any kind of excuse for MB to say he never looks after her. That is not my fault. It is his flaw. Any normal person knows babies must eat.

Rant over. It's just hard being stuck in. I am sure once they move and things settle down and the baby gets well then things will be fine.

Super Baby Nanny

I have always wanted the perfect Nanny job but however nice the family are they all have the same flaws. It's uncanny. It's like someone tells people who have nannies how to mess around their employees. It can be a bit lonely being a nanny especially when they go off with the push chair in the car so you can't even leave the house. This will be the ups and downs of being a baby nanny. In each post I must find something positive for each negative thing I say. That's the rules.

I shall call the baby, Baby E for privacy and confidentiality reasons. If I talk about my bosses it will be MB for the Mom Boss and DB for the Dad Boss.

Baby E is 8 months old and she's an absolute doll. She's adorable. Big brown eyes and lots of hair. I have to wash it later. I bet that won't go down well but it may clear her snotty nose if she screams the place down. She isn't a well bunny at all. She slept most of yesterday and is asleep now. 20 mins after I started she needed to go back.

So, no push chair. I asked DB this morning and he said he didn't have time to get it out of the car. So he could have really got it for me. Now I will be stuck in another 12 hour day with only Baby E for company which is quite hard and isolating. I am going to have the tv on in the back ground a bit today or I'll go crazy.

Yesterday an array of relatives all rang up sounding like they were checking up on me. I can't blame them. If I had a child, no way could I leave it with a random person I had only met once. I don't mind how many times they all ring to put their minds at ease. Just because I know I'm super nanny, they don't.....yet.
