To be annoyed with her?

[MonopolyMoney]

Nanny walked in to a scene this morning of my youngest crying and I ended up staying for longer as she was so unsettled. My partner then called nanny as was worried after I had left. So I admit she was having a chaotic time. But then I got a text saying she had left a bag behind (She was dropping kids off at a sports camp). The bag had trainers in. This is of course essential for kids camp. I now have to come out of work to sort it. A similar thing happened 3 months ago. Aibu to be annoyed?

Bag was left at home. She didn't have a key to get back in.

Why does she not have a key to get back in

Is this 'nanny' as in grandparent?

Be annoyed. But that's all you can do isn't it, just feel a bit annoyed!

Why doesn’t your nanny have a key?

In chaotic mornings things get forgotten. As long as it wasn’t a child then it wouldn’t be an issue to me. Maybe make sure the person looking after the children can access the house!

Everyone forgets things sometimes especially if out of routine (as you say happened this am). If she had keys she would have fixed the problem. You have to give choose what's best for you. Keys so she can get things when she occasionally forgets or leaving work to fix things on those rare moments (twice in 3 months is far less than I've forgotten things)

She was only doing a 2 hour morning shift today so no need to come back

Doesn't matter if it's a paid childcare provider type nanny or a grandparent type nanny.... Neither type is super human.
Sounds like a tricky morning and everyone was trying to do their best and in the chaos a bag was forgotten. Not anything to be annoyed about in my opinion.

So it's a paid Nanny. Who I would expect to have a key TBH.

Give her a key then, surely if you trust her with your kids you can trust her with a house key for times like this?

You need to give her a key.

I only asked as I would expect a paid Nanny to have a key, a Grandparent not so much. That's all.

But she is your nanny. There has been at least two occasions that have shown her being able to get into the house would be handy.

If you don’t provide her with the means to get back in then you can’t complain if you have to go and let her in!

It's a mistake. No need to get angry over it. Just get her to take it to the child.

Ask yourself this - would you have forgotten the bag?

Most likely you have forgotten the bag at some point or other - the fact that someone else did the same is part of being human with little kids.

It’s not the end of the world is it?

Sometimes people make mistakes.

You sound like a horrible boss.

Jesus OP she's only bloody human. You can't be that bloody busy if you have time to post about it on Mumsnet

She made a mistake on a chaotic morning. The last time she made such a mistake was three months ago.

Hardly the end of the world.

Giving her a key would avoid you having to leave work for stuff like this. You trust her with your kids but not with a key to your house?

If she didn't have a key I'm not sure what she could be expected to do?

Shit happens, you'll never stop that, especially when you throw kids into the mix. You just have to make sure there are ways around it.

Ah just seen that she doesn't have a key. You should be annoyed with yourself then as she should have a key.

It happened once before...3 months ago?
YABU, sounded chaotic as hell.

Of course YANBU to feel annoyed. But YABU to blame her. It's just one of those things.

Just sounds like a bad morning all round. They happen. Unless there's some back story of this happening loads, and I'm not sure 'that other time 3 months ago' counts, I would shrug it off. Also unclear why nanny doesn't have a key - that's part of today's problem, surely?

How odd she doesn't have a key. She made a mistake, you failed to give her a key, what else do you expect her to do??

I call a reverse. Surely no one is this much of an arsehole?
