To fire my nanny?

AnneNonimousLetterToSanta · 31/12/2012 16:32

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

How do you solve a problem like......um this?

ColdWinterNights · 31/12/2012 21:03

YABU. She just needs a Plummer to sort out her pipe work Grin

ThePinkOcelot · 31/12/2012 21:03

Sack her, and hire the government nanny, Nanny McPhee!

moajab · 31/12/2012 22:34

Hmmm I think you have a real problem here. And that you may end up marrying her by the end of the film very soon. But the Nazis are very bad. And can i come to your party please?

SarahWarahWoo · 31/12/2012 22:39

Write a screen play about this, you never know?!

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 31/12/2012 22:43

Really sarah don't you think people might see this as a little far fetched for a film?? Where's the realism?

UANBU

My Nanny drugs my children with medicine, or bribes them with sugar. She takes the children out all night with her whilst she sees her boyfriend too. Who is a filthy common chimney sweep. and he's an American, don't know who he thinks he's kidding with that cockney accent.

Invite Mary Poppins round. Make them have a fight. Whoever wins gets the job. No using guitars or umbrellas as weapons.

ElphabaTheGreen · 01/01/2013 06:50

Call me suspicious, but I think Mary Poppins moonlights as a nun-nanny anyway...they look kind of similar...Hmm

BlackAffronted · 01/01/2013 07:44

She sounds like a flibbertigibbet, a will-o'-the-wisp, a clown!

Badgersnatch · 01/01/2013 09:22

I've heard that she's into co-sleeping too.

sherazade · 01/01/2013 09:28

love them captain, please love them, they want to be loved

flamingtoaster · 01/01/2013 09:48

Personally I would be most concerned about her filling young minds with ideas about The Lonely Goatherd and finding a partner by yodelling. I realize yodelling is not illegal - but really - just anyone could yodel back! No mention of marriage either before they lived happily ever after - definitely not suitable for young minds.

Delalakis · 01/01/2013 09:55

Yes, boot her and have me. I've seen the pictures of you, I'm absolutely certain we'd get on.

weegiemum · 01/01/2013 11:12

I'd be concerned about the children's diet. Not sure schnitzel with noodles is a balanced diet?

ElphabaTheGreen · 01/01/2013 13:24

Well, there is tea, jam and bread on offer as well.

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 01/01/2013 15:10

I've heard that she plies children with drugs by hiding it in a spoon of sugar..

No...wait...that's a different nanny...

cocoachannel · 01/01/2013 15:29

There is always that delightful little thing called boarding school.

flow4 · 01/01/2013 15:41

SEVEN children? Your poor dead wife. I hope she had access to appropriate contraception and perinatal care. Are maternal mortality rates high the Austrian Alps?

Really, if that nanny is getting ideas about you, she needs to be Warned.

Iactuallydothinkso · 01/01/2013 15:51

Please sack the governess.

She doesn't love you. She loves God really.

I, on the other hand would most definitely respond to your whistle and you could make my hills come alive!

Exit stage right *goes off whistling and wishing every line I had to offer wasn't quite so stupid and corny....

CaptChaos · 01/01/2013 16:05

YABU

After all, you could climb every mountain, ford every stream, follow every rainbow and still not find your dream

Nanny.
