to find another Nanny?

I have had a few issues with my nanny. She looks after my 4mo 3 days a week to give me a break. A few occasions she has helped herself to my expensive coffee, and has even pinched a biscuit or two (I'm sure). I can live with that though, because she is nice.

I have told her that I'm going to be weaning DD soon and would she mind helping with food preparation etc. I've explained that I want everything to be organic and cooked from scratch, absolutly no junk whatsoever. Straight after this conversation she took DD out to the park, we live in the city, so she has to go through some shops on the way, including McDonalds, which she went into WITH MY DD and bought a coffee. Now I know I should be grateful she bought her own instead of pinching mine, but to go in straight after we had had the weaning coversation she takes my DD into McDonalds and exposes her to all that crap, hardly the best example when I'm about to start her on solids is it?!

So I feel my nanny will never understand how important this is to me and maybe I should find some like minded? I'm furiuos with her, and not least because she left the empty cup under the push chair

you need to speak to the woman who wants her nanny to prepare pasta from fresh...

pathetic

GibbonInARibbon · 11/02/2010 12:39

This has been done before and that troll wasn't much better.

BessieBoots · 11/02/2010 12:39

To be honest, I think YAB a bit U. It's not like she fed your daughter a mashed up happy meal- she didn't even have any crap food herself, just a coffee. I get that you would prefer your DD not to be exposed to that, but she WILL be exposed to it, whether you like it or not. If I was in your nanny's postition, I wouldn't think that "Only give my daughter organic vegetables" translated as "I don't want you drinking coffee from MacDonalds." Nannies are only human fgs- They can't read your mind.

Pikelit · 11/02/2010 12:39

Agree with LazyJourno. Doesn't even follow the most basic pantomime structure.

GibbonInARibbon · 11/02/2010 12:39

Ahh yes Lewis! I had forgot that one

squeaver · 11/02/2010 12:40

No no no, you've given too much away in the op.

You should have eked the details out:

"3 days a week to give me a break"

weaning at 4 months

"drinking my expensive coffee"

going to McDonald's

It's all too much, too soon.

Back to Troll School!

Jamieandhismagictorch · 11/02/2010 12:40

Yes, it's well known that babies can suffer from Secondary McDonalds ingestion.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 11/02/2010 12:41

And I'll eat you for my supper..........

Sassybeast · 11/02/2010 12:41

I arsing hate it when a troll isn't even a LITTLE bit funny.

Pikelit · 11/02/2010 12:42

GypsyMoth · 11/02/2010 12:43

off you go back under your bridge,put your thinking cap on and come back with something better

a benefit theme is popular right now...

see you soon

redskyatnight · 11/02/2010 12:45

Surely drinking all that coffee round your pfb can't be good?

PootleTheFlump · 11/02/2010 12:45

hahahahahahahaha

Pikelit · 11/02/2010 12:45

...but don't spill the beans in your very first post. Drop little nuggets gradually.

Or just fuck off.

CompletelyHackedOff · 11/02/2010 12:49

Really jamieandhismagictorch?? Then even more grounds for dismissal!!

Bessieboots - she does no how particular and protective I am of my DD though, thats why I think I'd be better off hiring someone of the same mindset.

squever - I'm not sure what weaning at four months has to do with it, and I did say soon, when she is 5 mo possibly.
Yes my expensive coffee - why it's annoying that she doesn't just drink the nescafe.
Yes, McDonalds - the reason for my dilemma.

and to the rest of the troll hunters, I have heard that it's a keen sport for MNer's, wave your lit torches somewhere else

Yawn. Nul points.

ChippingIn · 11/02/2010 12:52

Pathetic attempt at trollery....

Jenbot · 11/02/2010 12:53

I bet she drank your expensive coffee in one of the "family/guest" mugs instead of the "staff" mugs too.
She sounds like a bitch.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 11/02/2010 12:53

Who are you really ?

CompletelyHackedOff · 11/02/2010 12:54

YES jenbot!! My god, have you had the same problem?!

OP posts:
LazyJourno · 11/02/2010 12:55

Perhaps she won't drink Nescafe because she's supporting the boycott?

Now off you go to try again.

dinkystinky · 11/02/2010 12:55

This has to be a joke post right? If not then OP you sound absolutely bonkers and should probably take a chill pill or two.

CompletelyHackedOff · 11/02/2010 12:56

Not been on MN before Jamieandhismagictorch, have come form another forum that told me I might get better advice on this sort of thing on here. They did say to be wary of 'troll hunters' though.
