Parenting Pointers: Nannies and Husbands

Nannies and cheating husbands have been in the news these past few days - making many people skeptical of nannies. In a recent viral video by Natalie, or @Ibizadaze on TikTok, she shared a photo of her ex-husband and their nanny while riding the beloved “Splash Mountain” at Disney. 

The ex and the nanny are cuddled together in the photo while going down the ride. The video soon went viral, with over 1 million views and coverage in many news outlets in just a few days. 

Amy Pritchett, a relationship expert at MyDatingAdviser.com, explained why men are attracted to nannies: 

“Nannies are usually younger, more flirtatious, and more playful than their wives, so they are seen as fun. Men always want what they can’t have, only seeing the nanny's best behavior. She won’t nag or complain like his wife.”

“The nanny will give him more attention than someone else purely because she earns money. After a while, this becomes more natural, and they develop feelings. He can imagine she is interested in him even if she isn’t.”

MyDatingAdviser.com has provided tips for stopping your husband from falling in love with the nanny.

  1. Work on your relationship and confidence before bringing anyone else into your life.

Here are some ways you can work on your relationship together: you maintain a meaningful emotional connection with each other, you’re not afraid of (respectful) disagreement, keep outside relationships and interests alive, and communicate openly and honestly.

  1. Spend more time with your husband - go on date nights, have more sex, take a trip.

No matter how busy you are, take a few minutes each day to focus on each other and connect with your partner. You can also find something you enjoy doing together, like a shared hobby, dance class, or daily walk. Doing new things together can also be a fun way to connect and keep things interesting.

Focus on having fun. You both can often forget the playful attitude as life challenges get in the way or old resentments begin to build.

  1. Don’t be too controlling.

Controlling behaviors stem from anxiety and fear. You want to control your partner to feel safe, happy, or content. Some ways to stop controlling your partner are challenging the fear, practicing acceptance, and having flexibility in situations.

  1. Show your husband you appreciate him - and make sure he appreciates you.

A few ways to show appreciation might include: saying it out loud and more often, writing him a thoughtful note, giving them a break from childcare, cooking them a special dinner, praising him to your kids, telling the world what your spouse does for you, taking them on a romantic date or even giving a “just because” gift.

  1. If you think your husband is having an affair, confront him before things get out of hand.

Confronting your partner when they cheat is a tremendously challenging undertaking, but it is a necessary one if you want to restore honesty and transparency to the relationship. 

First, take a deep breath and evaluate the information you have. Then, you should start thinking about the confrontation if you have proof in emails, texts, panties, or eyewitness accounts.

Ask yourself what you want and what points you don’t. You can then plan an appropriate place for the conversation. Next, when confronting your spouse, try to listen to what they say about why they cheated. Finally, make a plan for when the conversation is over.

  1. Make sure your children are always the priority.

Here are some ways to build relationships with your children: Read books and watch movies together as a family, work together - in the garden, kitchen, and around the house, talk with them - and listen, find projects to pursue as a family, show an interest in your children’s interests, show physical affection to your children and schedule one-on-one time with individual children.
