My mother lives in a care home local to where I live. I see her once a week, sometimes on my own, sometimes with one or both of my kids (DD7 & DD4) - depending on how well behaved I think they're going to be, (once she believed they were so badly behaved that she asked not to see them until I had "sorted them out" - in their/my defence they were tired and didn't want to go but she had insisted we visit).
I work 3 days so have a nanny. My mum told me she wanted my nanny to take the children to see her after school once a week - she didn't ask, she told me! I thought about this and I'm not comfortable with asking my nanny to take them - she takes them to after school activities but I think this is different and not appropriate.
I have told my mum this, cue tears and being called mean and having a general
bashing about what a teeeible mother and daughter I am. Apparently everyone else she talks to thinks it's a great idea. To which I said it's for me to decide and it's not something I agree with.
AIBU? Am genuinely keen to understand what would you do in my shoes?

Too much to ask my Nanny?
