To think this was a bit of a dig?

Nanny resigned from her position with us almost a year ago. The kids did not want her there towards the end but were also really sad when she left and were upset they would never see her again. It ended on bad terms as she felt I was accusing her of lying over something but I was not, it came out wrong. Anyway, we made alternative arrangements and the kids love going to wraparound care which we probably should have done in the first place. However, we are now needing childcare again and got a new sitter to do evenings here and there. Nothing like what our old nanny did as she was there a lot more. Anyhow, I was saying how much the kids like the new sitter to a friend and she said 'Would be really hard for L (old nanny) to hear that especially as she did so much for you all and felt she had to leave as you didn't trust her.' ' I was a bit taken aback. I also didn't like her tone. Aibu to feel it isn't her place to comment and that she should just be pleased that we are all happy?

Sounds like your friend has remained in touch with 'L' tbh.

You friend isn’t your staff. She’s entitled to comment on whatever she likes and to use whatever tone she likes.

How "wrong" does something have to come out to sound like an accusation of theft?!

Your friend clearly thinks you treated your nanny badly, and is judging you. Sounds like she might have a point.

. The kids did not want her there towards the end was this clear in their behaviour towards her?

SnarkyBag · 21/09/2022 20:26

I would imagine you probably treated L quite poorly for a friend to make that comment!

Sunnyqueen · 21/09/2022 20:42

Yeah sounds like your friend feels quite sympathetic towards L. As for 'wasn't her place' what sort of friendship is it if you can't be honest with each other? Don't see the point in that mentality personally.
