The only thing harder than being a parent is having to parent somebody else’s kids. We can assume that most people who become nannies do so because they’re genuinely good with children, but they often have to be just as savvy with their actual employers as well. Those who earn enough money to get hired help can be pretty insecure and difficult to deal with, who knew?

It’s not an easy thing to balance, especially when your entire job is about building relationships. Someone who has found herself stuck in the middle of this dilemma is u/ZealousidealWait2698, who had her nanny confide in her that the way her husband disrupted the bedtime routine of her kids was making things difficult. However, when she relayed this to her husband, he complained that she was trying to replace him while we was away working. Redditors were not impressed with the approach of the hands off dad, to say the least. Parenting isn’t all about playtime.
