Dead bird and babbysitter, am I over reacting?

No OP, because five year olds don't automatically do anything. Yours five year old does? Goes into the house and without your saying it washes his/her hands? I don't believe you, I don't believe that they are not told. Unless you are some kind of monster mom and kids are scared to death of you.

The professors at your child's college will be the same way. You better draw the line in the sand now to protect the snowflake.

My husband found a seminar for kids where they can learn about birds/raptures. (GW Parkway.) They put gloves on, and can hold live animals, and learn what to do if they come across one that is injured or dead. We are going this weekend, and continue to talk to kids about enjoying wildlife while being safe.

The dead bird is in the woods outside our house, and I pray that none of the neighborhood kids find it.

Why don't you put the dead bird in the trash instead of praying so the neighborhood kids for sure won't find it. Idiot.

I would too. I wouldn't report the nanny but I wouldn't hire her again.

So the nanny can't win.

Me too ! Could you give us more info about your company? I love this perk!

Accenture does this. The backup care is contracted through bright horizons. You pay a ridiculously small amount - like $2/hr. The quality of the nanny varies a lot though.

I would have wanted her to make the kid put the bird down but I'm met some really hard headed children that are pure hell to deal with. If your kid is one of these then my sympathies are with the nanny.
