Shared nanny has just left for the day and said in an exhasperated tone about my three year old, 'she's just very bossy - now obviously that's just her personality, it's just that X (another of her charges) is a bit sick of it'.
Now, there's no part of me that thinks she's an angel. She's is bossy. She's three. But it is hurtful to hear. I don't have a problem with people criticising me but hearing it about her is hard.
So how do you learn to stop being so precious when they're criticised? I know the thing that was said is true (it's not the first time a similar thing has been said by the nanny) and understand she's human and had obviously had a hard day but it was difficult to hear I suppose. I need to learn how to buck up...so how did you do it?
