To suspect my nanny is drugging my child?

I have a nanny for my son who is now eighteen months old, she has been with us since he was ten months old. I recently noticed that the level of the emergency bottle of Calpol had gone down dramatically and I know we have not given him any. I put a mark on the bottle to see if it would go down any further, and sure enough, it has. She is the only other person in the house. Is it possible for Calpol to evaporate over time, or is she giving it to him and not telling me/writing it in the book? If so, would IBU to sack her on the spot for endangering his health, in that we could have come home from work and given him another dose without realising? I suppose she could be taking it herself, at a stretch - I just think this is a pretty serious allegation and I don't want to upset the relationship by suggesting she is giving it to him if it can just dry up anyway?

Has it been suggested that you ask her OP?

Failing doing something normal like asking, yes you should sack her on the spot. Then shoot her, then set fire to her body, then stamp on the ashes, then wash them away with acid, just to be on the safe side.

GahBuggerit offers excellent advice.

I think the OP has written a cheque and the nanny is now en route for Maui.

But she wasn't going 007 meadows she was chatting on here and trying work out what happened. Why not?

OP are you coming back?

MrTCakes · 15/11/2016 20:40

Have you cancelled the cheque?

I have taken Calpol when stuck in the house, had bad period pains, and nothing else around. Maybe it didn't work but I needed at least the placebo effect!

Have you asked her?

VladimirsPooTin · 15/11/2016 22:14

OP has left the building or is smacked off her tits on Calpol.

It's real paracetamol, not a placebo for children.

Ilovenannyplum · 15/11/2016 22:46

She's not coming back is she? Maybe the Nanny has drugged OP with calpol too??! Grin

Touchmybum · 16/11/2016 16:08

Maybe she questioned the nanny, and the nanny has done her in...

AllotmentyPlenty · 16/11/2016 20:26

Ravioli, I know it is real. I thought the smaller child's quantity might not touch the sides of period pain but it hurt enough I wanted to do something for myself.

I've nicked most of my baby's Calpol over the last few months for headaches, colds etc. It's so tasty and as an adult you have to have sooo much to reach the proper dose. Yum!
