Nanny attending to own affairs while on duty

Oh no I have gone so red I am mortified. Think everyone should check their posts before they post. I meant banking the b isn't even next to the w don't know how I did that. Sorry.

"I do my wanking in work time as usually checking I have been paid"

That typo has made my day! I'm laughing so hard I can hardly type!

That typo made me laugh more than anything has done for a long time!

I do my wanking in work time as usually checking I have been paid.

Don't always pick my phone up as if I am in a class it would be on silent. My boss rarely rings me .

I'd set my phone to vibrate, myself.

If a family member talked her into this (why???), then your issue is surely with them?

Natasha - why should the nanny be in the house? What right does the OP have to expect the nanny & child to be at home because she came home unexpectedly early - the nanny isn't a mind reader.

I wonder if the OP will update?

I wouldn't be at all worried if I trusted the nanny to take care of DS and if I didn't she'd be gone.

I wouldn't want each and every day being a DC focussed fun fest. I would want my DC to have the same kind of days as they'd have if I were home.

I would also not want or need the nanny to be texting me all day and asking my permission to do stuff - she's a nanny - let her get on with her job while you get on with your job. Her job isn't to sit in the house all day, her job is to look after the DC - which she was doing.

I just spat my drink all over the keyboard.

I do all my wanking at work - well, I suppose if you can it saves time in the evenings

You know she's going be mortified when she comes back here, don't you guys? Or maybe we should just guess what she's doing right now.....!

Ha ha at the typo!

I think that she should have asked. Again, it seems as it there is a bizarre sense of entitlement that nannies live under different rules to the majority of employees.

Popping into the post office or a shop, fine. A long house hunting trip, no.

Another question might be, would your DS have got anything out of that experience?

'wanking in worktime'

Fnarrrrr

HAHAHAHAHA brilliant typo, I spat out my tea!!!!

really mrs c? pmsl

The funniest thing I've read for ages mrscupcake

ROFL @ mrscupcake I do my wanking in work time

brilliant typo!

Are you sure you posted correctly there Mrscupcake23?

'I do my wanking in work time'

That is completely unacceptable!

Think the main problem is that she should have asked if it was all day. I do my wanking in work time as usually checking I have been paid.

Don't always pick my phone up as if I am in a class it would be on silent. My boss rarely rings me .

I think it's ok tbh. Not great, but not a massive problem.

You say, if she'd asked you would have said yes, so perhaps she just assumed (rightly) that it would be ok? If I'm going to do something that I know my employer will be OK with I don't bother checking.

You seem to have trust issues with your nanny. I don't understand why you would be worried that she wasn't at home or that she didn't answer her phone for half an hour? Neither of those seem concerning to me. I also don't understand why you're worried that you have no idea who they're with? Does she normally text you through the day saying 'with John', 'now with Valerie' 'just having a chat with Mrs Miggins from number 21', 'on the bus, there are some strangers'?! Surely you never know who they're with but you trust that whoever it is, is suitable?

I think you need to examine whether your nanny isn't trustworthy or whether you have trouble trusting people with your DC.

What did she say when you asked her?

I think its a bit out of order. I'd ask her what she has been doing and then say either you'd like her to notify you of plans out of the ordinary or plan in her off time.

Going to post office, doctor, dentist etc fine as its a learning experience for child and also means the parents don't need to take the time off work but flat hunting is for time off.

I think it's good for children to sleep anywhere - you said it was your dc nap time - so if nanny took a buggy and did look at houses then I don't see the problem

If I wasn't expecting mb home and needed to do something I wouldnt bother her by texting we to say we are doing abc - I would just go out and do it

Sounds like there are trust issues

Normally the dc I look after sleep at home in their cots/bed and I get peace tv mn sit on sofa etc

But if I needed to do something then as long as slept (or have grumpy children) then I would put in car or buggy and they would sleep there

Are you worried that everyday once you leave nanny goes out all day? Which again every now and again I do - literally 8.30/5.30 out of the house

Get to the house at say 8am do school/nursery run, maybe go to activity, pick up dc at lunchtime and then to a friends house for lunch and play. They snooze there. We then go to say older child's swimming and back home for tea / sarnies and fruit in car and back home 5.30/6

Can you maybe have a diary so you know where they are- tho again plans can change if say child we were good to has a sickness bug

I often go out of the house without asking, it wouldn't occur to me that my bosses might come early and therefore be worried about where I was... as they trust me.
