I had a nanny for 2 and a bit years and changed nannies in Sept last year (old nanny wanted a new job) - TBH, we felt it was actually time to switch and were glad she called an end to it rather than us. She was v good with the kids but she really did drive us up the wall - v big personality, quite bossy, etc etc. it was my first nanny so didn't know any better.
anyway, new nanny is soooo lovely i want to keep her until the children are 18 . My DD who turned 3 last nov had a party and we invited ex-nanny (having been just away from us for 2 months). it was ok but she just has this way of just dominating the scene - it seems silly, but it does really annoy me (almost acts as if she's mummy IYSWIM). she is good with the kids and loves them dearly...but sometimes, it just really grates.
anyway, my DS is turning one in march and we are giving him a bday party and was wondering if it would be rude not to invite her. (she does call me quite a bit so i do think the topic will come up). i really do not want to invite her - not opposed to her coming for a visit in the house - just don't really want to get annoyed on a day where am supposed to enjoy it with DS.
Am i being too mean? DS was 6 mos when she left and she was quite fond of him.
