Au pair threw water in DS' face

Interested in others' views:

I was working from home this afternoon and heard an argument downstairs. DS7 comes screaming and crying upstairs in his pants absolutely soaked saying au pair threw a jug of water in his face. Au pair said he was being rude and shouting at her that he wouldn't put his ball outside.

They have had a pretty strained relationship over the three months she has been here and he doesn't like her. I don't think she likes him much either but her new job doesn't start until September so she's trying to stick it out until then.

AIBU to sack her for the water incident? In my mind she is the adult and should have walked away, or come to get me.

God, what else does she think is an acceptable punishment? Get rid.

If she’s doesn’t get on with your child then let her go. What’s the point of inflicting her on him if they don’t have a good relationship? He’s rude to her, she’s mean to him, fuck it, life’s too short

Yanbu, what a horrible thing to do.
