AIBU?

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

The kids love he, she works all the hours god sends and she believes in cheap/free entertainment for kids. Marry her and you'll get extra benefits and not even have to pay her any more!

Did you get her from a reputable agency? Or did you just contact the local nunnery?
Does she have any skills she could offer? Is she musical in any way?

I don't think you'd have any MIL trouble somehow.

BTW watch out for your eldest girl. I think she should let her try a sip of champagne. She is 17 FGS!

Watch out for that Rolf, he is well aware your oldest is 16 going on 17.

Can I offer you a bit of advice? When you find yourself having to flee Salzburg in a hurry to escape the Nazis, don't go over the mountains. You will find yourself in Germany, not Switzerland. You should know by now that Salzburg is close to the German border !! (or ask your Governess, she has spent alot of time up them mountains!!)

High on the hills lives a lonely goatherd, possibly she'd be happier with his carefree lifestyle.

I do sense you are feeling concerned and worried about all this.

How do you feel about whiskers on kittens?

YABU

She should only be looking after six of your children as your oldest definitely doesn't need a governess.

Hmm. She does sound like a bit of a flibbertigibbet

Sack her. Give me the job. I would lock the children in a small room so they couldn't do anything common or noisy and take you outside to that lovely summer house and do unspeakably filthy things to you.

I may or may not be ovulating

Yabu. Who else would teach your children to sing and cycle at the same time? It's a rare talent and probably useful Confused

YANBU, do you know how she treats dog bites and bee stings?! I don't think she's qualified at all.
