[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - it sounds like after the first interaction, the nanny told her boss that you were willing to pay for her to watch her child.  Just call the neighbor and tell her there was a misunderstanding - you thought the nanny was just offering to keep an eye on your kid, but you don't need paid supervision since you can see him out the window.

It's ridiculous that someone would expect to be paid for 10 minutes at a bus stop.  Also please talk to your child and explain new rules for the bus stop - he is to stand and wait quietly, no more playing is allowed.  [/quote]

What's wrong with running around the trees?  OP can see her kid, so evidently she is fine with whatever he does at the bus stop.  Personally, I think burning off some energy is great before school.[/quote]

"The trees" might be on someone else's private property.  I know a neighbor of mine would get really upset because the bus stop was in front of her house and parents used to let their kids run her yard, trampling flowers and other damage, while waiting for the bus.  This neighbor didn't even have school age children.[/quote]

You're all forgetting that the neighbor's kids used to run around the trees WITH OP's son until she said no to the nanny.  So clearly it's not about that.[/quote]

I'm exhausted (insomnia last night) so I might have missed something, but the part about the trees that I saw was "Now DC has mentioned that the kids at the stop (all of Nanny's charges) are being quite around him and they aren't allowed to run around the trees anymore. "
Maybe the property owner spoke to the nanny/other parents and said they don't want kids running around on their property.   Since OP hasn't been to the bus stop for a few weeks, the property owner wasn't able to speak to her.[/quote]

If that's the case, it would have been a very easy message to pass along, seeing as that allegedly aggrieved property owner lives all of three houses down from OP. [/quote]
