[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whose watching the kids this whole time while nanny is on bereavement leave?

Since the nanny hasn't returned, bc of bereavement leave, has it become "out of sight, out of mind" for the kids by now? Are they asking about her? Might be easier not to have her come back to say goodbye if the kids have already naturally found closure. [/quote]

You don't just forget about someone you care about, even kids.  [/quote]

I had a few nannies growing up.  One would visit yearly or so and I didn't remember them.  It was uncomfortable.[/quote]

You again.  You’ve written the same thing about 200 times.  There’s clearly something very wrong with you.

Plus you had “a few nannies” - it’s very different when you’ve had just one and have passed the age of remembrance (5) like OP’s oldest.

My nanny growing up is still a part of my life.  I love her dearly and I have wonderful loving parents who I’m also very close to.  And it was hard for me as a kid when she moved on and I aged-out but it helped that she visited and babysat weekly.  [/quote]

+1. Yeah, I recognize the “uncomfortable “ PP too.  She’s unwell.

My brother and I both spoke at our former nanny’s funeral.  I see the way my kids light up when their nanny walk in in the morning and think they’ll have the same relationship with her as we did with our nanny.  [/quote]
