Grandparents can’t relax and enjoy babysitting their granddaughter when her mom is spying on them through the nanny cams.
We love looking after our 18-month-old granddaughter when her parents travel. She’s an easy child who generally follows a set schedule: Nap at 11, bedtime at 7, and snacks and meals at set times.
I hate that she can’t relax while away, and I really dislike feeling micromanaged and spied on. How do we navigate this? I find myself getting really frustrated and unable to relax and just enjoy being with our granddaughter because I feel like we are constantly being watched and found wanting. I have heard similar stories from friends who are grandparents.From doorbell cameras to nanny cams, our culture is obsessed with monitoring all kinds of people .
You specifically mention that you watch the baby when the parents are traveling, so I’m curious how often this is. If, for instance, the parents travel twice a year, you may decide to suck it up and put up with the monitoring for the sake of spending time with your granddaughter. When you’ve mentally decided that mom will call day and night, you can just roll with it and decide to be unbothered.
