To be annoyed with her?

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?

Did the nanny actually forget the bag (as in she knew where it was and that it was needed)?

Why don't your kids have some responsibility for their things, or even better and easier why weren't they wearing the trainers already, so no chance of forgetting them?

I doubt you've never ever made a mistake at work, so if there are just these two incidents and nothing else that bothers you, then you don't really have much to moan about.

8 and 9, blaming the nanny who doesn't have a key? Hmm time kids took charge of their own bags.

Has to be a wind up. Seems to be a few tonight.

Give her a flipping key! This is your fault op.

This is ridiculous. I'm a fairly organised person but probably at least once a week I leave something in the house and have to go back for it. It's not careless it's just normal life.

Have you never forgotten something?

Ffs cut her some slack, it was a chaotic morning.

@MonopolyMoney

They are 8 and 9 but as I said, just felt it was careless and also that she should have apologised but I can see this isn't helpful me saying that here as I am getting a bashing for it all.
oh grow up!

Hopefully this is a wind up.

If not, you are just ridiculous.

Came on to say the same thing!
Theres a least a couple of times a week I'll remember somthing just as I close the door. Takes me 4 and a half seconds to unlock the door and grab what I've forgotten. This is normal. Not careless. Especially when the morning was chaotic on top.
I'm sure more of her thoughts were on the upset child/children and less on the extra bags that children that age are more than capable of gathering themselves.

If you'd given her a key, this wouldn't have been an issue. You're making problems unnecessarily. Why wouldn't you give her a key? Confused
