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

Fantastic news! Here's hoping that's an end to it now (even though this thread has been epic!) Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 21/06/2017 21:20

DH came home tonight to find the Nanny's car semi parked across our driveway again tonight!!!!!! My car was already on our drive and the neighbour's were home too hence why she wasn't on their drive.

DH got out and banged on the door and sternly asked for it to be removed so he could park across our drive.

I can't believe it!!

It's too insane for words.

What. The. Hell.

Is she thick or... well, no, she's thick.

I hope you took pictures to show the neighbours?

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 21/06/2017 21:22

...oh, just re-read and saw they were home.

Are they ALL thick?!

NameChange30 · 21/06/2017 21:23
Shock
Writerwannabe83 · 21/06/2017 21:25

They're bloody entitled arseholes - all of them.

I think I officially give up now!

Nooooooooo

You're going to have to get her clamped.

BewareOfDragons · 21/06/2017 21:26

What on earth did the neighbours say? Surely they had to answer the door.!

NameChange30 · 21/06/2017 21:29

Yes I think you have to report and get her clamped now. She was blocking you in so it's illegal isn't it?

Writerwannabe83 · 21/06/2017 21:29

It was Mrs NDN who answered the door, who then called the Nanny, who then came out and moved her car. She didn't look my DH in the eye.

The neighbour's have been home all day so obviously the Nanny has come round for something and parked in her usual spot. Maybe she's come to hand her notice in and this is her last act of defiance.... Grin

They're unbelievable

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 21/06/2017 21:32

Unbelievable. I wonder how long until the husband is round to explain how it's all his wife's fault...?

annielouise · 21/06/2017 21:38

I just can't believe some people.

AnneElliott · 21/06/2017 21:43

If you want to complain, ring the force and ask to speak to their professional standards department (PSD).

Often they will have a word and sort things so it doesn't get to a full complaint.

OnTheRise · 21/06/2017 21:44

Next time she does this, just phone the police. Tell them you're too anxious to ask them to move the car because of the aggression you were met with when you last went round there.

FFS.

GhostCurry · 21/06/2017 21:47

Aaaargh Mrs NDN is SO RUDE!!!!

Squishedstrawberry4 · 21/06/2017 21:48

Bloody hell.

TransvisionTramp · 21/06/2017 21:51

Wow. Just wow.

I'd do what Francis said. Tell him/her that you were verbally abused in the past (are pregnant) and feel intimated by the fact that they are Police Officers.
No one is above the law.

Writerwannabe83 · 21/06/2017 21:53

Unbelievable. I wonder how long until the husband is round to explain how it's all his wife's fault...?

Grin Grin

The only bit of hope I'm clinging on to is that maybe the neighbour's didn't know she'd parked across the drive? If the Nanny let herself into their house they'd have no idea where she'd parked?

BengalGal · 21/06/2017 21:54

Any cops or relatives of cops on here who can suggest the best course of action? PSD, chief constable, just tow it away and make nanny pay.....

Storminateapot · 21/06/2017 21:57

Astonishing! Is it actually illegal to partially block a drive? I can only assume they've told her it isn't so she can fill her boots.

thenightsky · 21/06/2017 22:11

Wow... unbelievable! The cheek!
