nanny/mothers help getting some really basic things wrong - how to deal with this

[Tutter]

to start with, the positives: she's easy-going, flexible and seems to enjoy spending time with ds1

but she's pretty slack on some things, and quite dippy

e.g. not thorough on nappy changes - leaves bits of poo - ds1 then gets sore. doesn't tighten lid on beaker - spills everywhere. forgets to wipe down table after meals. forgets to tidy up before going home. ironed dirty clothes!

i pick her up on things when i feel it's appropriate but don't want her to feel as though she's under constant scrutiny

should i just relax and think of the bigger picture, or would you expect her not get these types of thing wrong?

Oh those look nice.

Another thing you can do is geat a very small towel (like a baby wash cloth) wet, stick it in a ziploc bag and freeze it. It you place it in a bowl in the freezer it will then curve to fit your head.

Although, all this may be useless as it sounds as if Minty does not have a migrain after all.
