Nanny out of order? I am furious.

[magbags]

I have just had to nip out of work on an errand and have passed my nanny at a nearby bustop, which is on a very busy road. My beloved DC was with her but holding the hand of a woman who I have never seen before in my life (I am presuming it will turn out to be the nannies mother). I am absolutely furious about this on so many levels...why is she with her mother when she should be at work focusing on my DC?...why is she making the judgement that someone other than her is allowed to touch my DS precious little hand and keep him safe?...please help me to focus and to figure out how to approach the subject when I get in tonight.

'why is she making the judgement that someone other than her is allowed to touch my DS precious little hand and keep him safe?.'

Oh, this is too, too easy.

We really really need a popcorn smilie thingy.

Is the nanny not allowed to take your DC on the bus? I really don't get why you would be furious tbh. Is it because a stranger is touching your DC? As for approaching the subject and assuming she is allowed on the bus, why not just say 'Oh I saw you today at the bus stop, who were you with'?

Hahahahahahhaaaaaa

I think you should probably seek some sort of counselling, they will help you to focus and figure out what your issues are.

I think you need to chill.

zoinks OP

I think you need to Calm Down dear

Really??!! Really, really???!!!

My DS is at a Cm whose husband works shifts and whose sons are about in the school hols, and he adores all of them and is in their family too. Why on earth is it a problem

joke, right?

Are you a bit mad?

Ha Ha, nice one OP.

If this is real you sound a bit unhinged IMHO.

oh dear

I actually snorted a bit of snot out of my nose.

Interesting one, I'm in two minds about whether to take this seriously or not.

Having trust issues with my own nanny, I can relate to a situation where you find your child somewhere/with someone you were't aware of. NOT a good feeling believe you me.

However I can't quite relate to the bit about "...allowed to touch my DS precious little hand"

You loon

Hmm part of me thinks that if you trust your nanny then you should trust her judgement to keep your little one safe and surround him with people she trusts. Presumably she trusts her mother implicitly ( assuming it was her mother ). That said, as a nanny, I would have mentioned to you that I was meeting my mother and checked it was ok and next to a busy road, I would have held his hand as he's my responsibility.

I wouldn't go in all heavy handed tonight. I would ask what she'd been doing and see if she mentions being out with her Mum? If she doesn't I'd be a bit miffed. Either way just say you'd rather it didn't happen again.

The trolls have become lazy.

If this is for real - Are you cross as

nanny was using a bus (provide a car for her then during working hours)

Your ds was holding a strangers hand

Or that your nanny wasn't holding his hand on a busy road

If the 3rd one then fair enough but maybe your nanny said you hold a hand and your child chose to hold this other ladies

I'm assuming he wasn't crying therefore probably knows this lady - maybe was a friend of your nannies - I know several older nannies

If this is for real then you have serious trust issues with your nanny

Wow, just misread this not understanding that the nanny was there. Was wondering why everyone thought you were overreacting!

But the nanny was there, so you are. If you trust her judgement then you should not be worried. If you don't trust her judgement then why do you leave your child with her.

When my DS was at the childminder I knew she sometimes saw friends and encouraged the kids to foster relationships with another friend who was also a childminder in case there was an emergency. I was more than happy with this.

People are so funny.
You need a hobby, or a grip!

At first I thought you meant the nanny had let someone else take him out without her, in which case I could see your point. But if her only 'crime' was to have bumped into someone she knew while out with him, and allowed that person to touch his hand...well, you sound a bit strange. Assuming this is for real.

You should apologise. What were you thinking.
Aloowing the poor nanny to gat a bus, give her the money for a taxi next time.
I would also make sure she DOES NOT leave the house with a bag full of anti-bacterial wipes in case of any future touching of things like hands handles etc.

CAll yourself a careing employer. tut.
