To fire my nanny?

I am a widower, and a single father to 7 children. Since my wife died I have employed various nannies to help me handle this responsibility. They never seem to last long...

My current nanny has been dressing my children up in rags, answering back, and teaching them god awful songs to sing to my new gorgeous girlfriend. She has also been hiding my eldest DD's love affair with a racist boy from me.

WIBU to send her back to the convent we got her from?

TIA

Captain

oh don't! I think it would all be fine if you would just let loose and join in with the songs.

why did she dress them in rags? Did you even ask?

YANBU, just be careful you don't end up with a houseful of singing nuns!

Also, try to cash in on the singing, people love cutsie kiddies. They could make you a fortune

I think you secretly love her and should in fact marry her.

kayano apparently the clothes I provide are not suitable for 'playing' in. Cheeky mare had the nerve to call them straight jackets!!!

YANBU. Perhaps she has designs on you aswell?

I suggest you send her packing then reconcile, take part in a singing competition and then flee from the Nazis... but that's just my opinion.

Haha. I took me most of this thread for your post to register.

Maybe it I had read the final word I would have figured it out sooner.

I bet the hills are alive where you live, you just haven't embraced the fully yet.

Make her some jam and bread. I've heard she's partial.

The clothes were made from curtains, not rags. To be fair she did ask you for some material to make them play clothes, but you refused, you grumpy old bugger. Apparently your children don't play, they march!!!
