Sorry for the delay in starting the new thread but blimey, what a nightmare this is turning out to be Sad

I went round there, Mr NDN let me in and showed me through to the living room where Mrs NDN was on the sofa. I smiled at her and went straight in to my apology about swearing at her and how I shouldn't have done it, that I was just angry and frustrated and that I had lost my temper. I said I had simply been confused about the Nanny's behaviour, her excuses, the mixed up stories etc and that I had let myself get too wound up but that I shouldn't have sworn like I did. I was sincere (because I did mean it) and I genuinely thought she would accept my apology but she went mental on me.

She basically ignored what I'd said and launched into me about how unhappy she was about the fact she'd come home to find her Nanny all upset because apparently I'd been threatening and intimidating towards her!!!!!!

Mrs NDN then said that I should be ashamed of myself for upsetting a young woman so much and that if I had any problems with their Nanny then I should be speaking to her and her DH as the employers, not being aggressive towards the Nanny herself which is a complete U-Turn from what she said to me yesterday!!

I started to try and explain about the parking but she brushed me off and said she knew I'd parked across their drive and that the Nanny had simply made an innocent mistake by parking across my drive again as she'd honestly believed I was at work and that my response to park across their drive had been a total overreaction.

I said to Mrs NDN that yesterday she told me that if I had any issues with the Nanny then I was take it up directly with the Nanny, so why now is she having a go at me for having done doing exactly that?!

It was so bizarre!! Yesterday Mrs NDN was throwing her Nanny under the Bus but during her rant at me she was acting as though the Nanny is all pure and wholesome!

Apparently the Nanny has told the NDNs that she needs some time to think about whether she can continue working with them as she no longer feels comfortable working in an environment where she feels vulnerable!!!

It's absolutely crazy!!!!!
I feel like I'm living on another planet.

Mr NDN didn't really say anything, he just sat there whilst his wife ranted at me.

I'm back home now and have been quite tearful about it to DH. I genuinely wasn't aggressive or threatening to the Nanny, I was just being firm. I feel like I'm now the Bad Guy in this situation and the Nanny is the victim. It didn't even occur to me that I might be upsetting the Nanny when I spoke to her before I moved my car.....I didn't think she was the type of person who could get upset....she's been so bloody unbelievable that I thought she'd be too brass necked to feel intimidated by anyone.

I'm just so shocked and this really wasn't what I was expecting.

My DH is furious and I've had to hold him back from going round there himself. He said the Nanny has obviously just turned on the waterworks to the NDN to save her own skin and portray me as the one being in the wrong to take the focus off what she'd done.

I want to believe him, I can imagine the Nanny probably would be that manipulative but it doesn't make me feel any less crap or upset Sad

All this recording of conversation talk...it is actually illegal in the UK to record someone without their knowledge. Police will not accept it as evidence for court.

It's perfectly legal to record conversations for your own use, and you can use such recordings in court if the judge agrees. It's nothing to do with the police.

I hope to god neither NDN find this thread.
Or the Daily Fucking Mail (swearing obligatory to avoid being quoted)

wizzler · 14/06/2017 19:50

Does anyone else think that Mrs NDN is sitting in a panda car somewhere quiet, flicking through this thread open mouthed with horror at the prospect of her DH getting jiggy with the nanny?

nightswimming1 · 14/06/2017 19:50

Did Nanny leave any oil drips during that hour on the drive or is that one for the lie detector as well?!

Writerwannabe83 · 14/06/2017 19:52

I'm pretty confident no jigginess is being had seeing as the children have been in the house both times that the Nanny has been there today Grin

The whole thing makes no sense - as another poster said, they all sound unhinged. The whole oil leak story just sounds bizarre.....I've given up trying to understand the Nanny's and NDN's actions/reasons because it's just nonsensical.

I think that's why I can't be bothered to deal with them again because conversations with them just leave me more confused Smile

Blimey I go out for a few hours and come back to jigginess!
Is Mrs ndn home now?
I wish they'd just come and have a conversation with you so you -I- can get on with your life.
I'd make sure DH is there though, if Mr NDN doesn't come round tonight but then does when you're home alone again tomorrow indefinitely wouldn't speak to him, I'd feel he was deliberately waiting to DH was out. Oh God that's sounds like more jigginess!

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 14/06/2017 20:12

On the bright side (for me anyway) I think I've finally settled on the name for my new band. It was going to be 'Mrs Jolly and the Army Dad'. Nicholarse and Cuntoline was probably inappropriate But I'm thinking 'Nuisance Nanny and the Next Door Neighbours' is as good as it gets really.

Judas - how about Nuisance Nanny and the Nasty Next Door Neighbours Grin

maxybrown · 14/06/2017 21:00

It's all very very odd! I felt rage in your behalf.

It seems in some way they're all in on it? I don't know, it all seems so strange and reactions and reasons are utter bullshit aren't they? Puzzling! Be a third thread at this rate Grin

ruru1981 · 14/06/2017 21:17

Hi did I read that the op has had her baby but prematurely? I'm so confused as clearly that is not true. Then one guy hit another? I can't be bothered to look for it now. I must have read it wrong.

DisappearingFish · 14/06/2017 21:18

Completely different neighbour thread ruru

ruru1981 · 14/06/2017 21:28

But it was on this post wasn't it?

Waltermittythesequel · 14/06/2017 21:29

That was Army Dad.

WaaWaaWaaa · 14/06/2017 21:34

Here's hoping it's sorted (soooooooooo hoping for more!)

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 14/06/2017 21:37

But woof maybe they're just misunderstood? Grin

Diggingmywayout · 14/06/2017 21:51

Disappearingfish and Waltermitty, please could you link to Army Dad thread! I've lost it!

Shellsandstones1 · 14/06/2017 21:57

Loved Army Dad.

Oldbutstillgotit · 14/06/2017 22:03

Nannygate has completely taken over my life . DH keeps talking to me and is getting slightly fed up with me going " ssh I'm reading ". Now that things have calmed down I NEED the Army Man thread . Please.

Oldbutstillgotit · 14/06/2017 22:04

Army Dad .

Shadow666 · 14/06/2017 22:05

I suggested to the OP that it was better to leave things yesterday while tempers were high because both the Pink Cock and Army Dad threads ended in violence and I didn't want that to happen here. Someone asked what happened on the Army Dad thread so I explained. I clearly said it was on the Army Dad thread it happened. Hope that explains it. These situations. An get out of hand too quickly I'm afraid.
