After school activities

[Applemartini]

I have an after school nanny who looks after my dds after school. It is complicated as she has her own children (2). I want my daughters to do after school activities from September - do dance after school instead of at the weekend, and a drama club. Am I unreasonable to ask the nanny to do this? It will be inconvenient for her children I realise. However, the kids really want to do these activities. So I guess this is an Aibu? It is in the contract for the role to take the kids to activities but I have held back thus far...

I just want to point out, as I always do on threads like this, that this is one example of one bad nanny.

There are people who are bad at their job in EVERY job, EVERY profession.
Dismissing all of a particular group because of one bad egg is the definition of prejudice. Prejudiced people are stupid people, as we all know.

Comments like 'I'm going to point people to this thread hwen they ask if NWOC is a good idea - you're confirming all my prejudices about that kind of arrangement' are silly.

yes, outraged, and there are working arrangements and practices which make it much more likely for the outcome to be unsatisfactory. Apart from anything, it's not good value for money - so call me stupid if I don't want to spend £30k of taxed income for someone to look after their own child

It can be good value for money when it works well. If you get a top notch nanny for 20% below market rates, to look after your 3 children and one of her own, I'd say that was pretty good value.

I would never call someone stupid for not wanting a nanny, that's personal choice. It is stupid to not want a nanny simply because you've heard a story or two about bad nannies. That's prejudice and prejudice is stupid. There are bad examples of every profession.

Well I spoke with her ( very reasonably I thought) on Tuesday saying that I wanted her to look into other arrangements on the day her daughter is doing an activity as it is inconvenient and that I needed her to fit in with the activities which I plan for the kids in September. I have had the frosty treatment ever since.
