Our nanny has a copy of our credit card and has been spending a bit more money lately - frequent ice cream trips, splash pad, etc... we already pay for full time care, day camp 3x/week...

That’s a lot of money a day. I wouldn’t be worried about how to nicely ask her, that’s your money and your children. It’s completely reasonable to set a budget and communicate that to her. Approach her next week when you’re a little removed from this feeling and have a plan, and let her know that you’re setting a budget for the credit card spending on your children, limiting to $xx per week. How she chooses to use that based on the day to day with your children can be up to her, but she should not go above that

I like this idea - thanks!

(Cont) and multiple memberships that have unlimited visits. I don’t want to complain or be cheap, but how do I nicely ask her to be a bit more thoughtful about what she’s spending? She’s been with us 2 years and has generally been reasonable, but now she’s regularly spending an extra $20-$40/day on top of all our normal costs

Maybe set a weekly budget and communicate this to your nanny

What is a useful, comprehensive but not too long of a book for parenting toddlers?

LO is 16 months old, very sweet and social, at the park every day with other kids with either me or her nanny. Not in day care. Yesterday we had a play date and she slapped another baby on the head. Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!
