Nanny gossiping

[Anonymous]

OP, you sound like a real scold. FFS.

[Anonymous]

You seem obsessed with what is your business and what isn't your business. Yet here you are with your knickers in a twist because of a woman's harmless comment -- which is in fact none of your business.

OP / the other nanny wanted to know what we thought they’d sold their house for and if they’d made a profit or a loss on the sale.

That's gross.

Why is that gross? Everyone in a neighborhood wants to know what comparable houses sold for.


This is a really weird thread. I don’t know what the problem is.

You have a private family making a private decision discreetly, and a disloyal employee blabbing about it

Np Lol. Have you ever watched Downton Abbey? The help ALWAYS gossip. It’s like you and a colleague bitching about your employer. It doesn’t speak to any moral failings. And OP, it doesn’t speak to your moral superiority that you’re so clueless you didn’t even notice your next door neighbor’s house was for sale!!

OP / I don’t agree. The conversation was making our nanny uncomfortable

Is this a joke? Your nanny can tell the other nanny to STFO. You don’t need to get in the middle of it. Again, employees gossiping together is a harmless pastime. If a particular employee doesn’t want to, they can say so.

Take the high road as you have been doing so far and tell your nanny to tell her nanny friend that this is no one’s business except your neighbor’s.

I would never ask them this
They’ll tell us in their own time

Okay so don't talk about it with them or the nannies, problem solved. The nannies can discuss it together if they want. This thread is unnecessary .

It’s for you to say what’s necessary??

I could ask you the same thing OP. You seem to think it's your place to dictate what your nanny can talk about.

OP - if it was me I’d want to know that my nanny was being indiscreet.

Yes if she was actually being indiscreet, she is not. You like OP are classist

Blabbing about an employer’s private business is discreet?

You don’t even know if it is “private”! Maybe the neighbor just forgot to tell you!

I’d bring it up when you see your neighbor again but not go out of my way to tell them.

Well, either there is an NDA (or at least a contract with a confidentiality clause), or there’s not. I’ve signed NDAs and never breathed a word. I’ve had confidentiality clauses, and nothing was said that was covered. And I’ve had families who don’t think it’s important, so I can say whatever I want.

Selling a house isn’t particularly private. Like others, I think it looks like their nanny is just worried about job security, like many of us in these difficult times. If this is a significant enough problem in your life to complain about OP, consider yourself lucky

So what? Everybody wonders the same, including you. Personally, it appears that you're the gossiper.

That is easy to find out
Tell them to just google it

Omg all the nannies gossip but the au pairs are the worst. They talk about how the dads are creepy and always checking them out and the moms are cold fish... I miss listening to it on the playgrounds.
