[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP with an update. Nanny’s mom ended up salarying at the hospital until lunch today and then was discharged. I only had to take 2 afternoon off and was able to work the rest of the time. 
Nanny brought her mom here and she will stay here (with her husband) for a week (possibly more). My nanny will be able to take care of my kids since there are so many adults in the house to help.

I had originally posted this on the health page because I had questions related to the health of the nanny’s mom (and I still do), but the thread was moved here.

I wonder if I should start a new thread there again.

But basically nanny’s mom is unable to walk, barely talk, is not self-sufficient in anything and has no memory. I have no idea what happened to her, she was 100% normal a few weeks back and now she has no idea who her daughter is or even who she is. They did an MRI at the hospital because they thought she might have had a stroke, but did not find anything. She had covid, a blood clot, pneumonia, UTI and irregular heart beat for a couple of days. Everything since to have been resolved except that she has no idea who she is...

Does anyone know what might have happened to her?[/quote]

First of all, who is the “so many” adults in the household to help- the nanny’s husband? Do you really think your nanny will be able to take care of her mom and your kids (and her kids?) at the same time?

What is the plan after a week? You say the nanny’s parents can’t afford a nursing home but it really sounds like the mom needs full time care?[/quote]

Try to keep up...the adults in the house are...OP, OP’s husband, nanny, nanny’s unemployed husband, nanny’s mom, nanny’s mom’s husband, and nanny’s two kids.

BTW OP, nanny’s mom and her husband are never leaving.

This situation is really really really messed up...I hope a neighbor reports this, there has to be some occupancy laws being broken here.  Maybe the authorities need to get involved and figure all this out.

OP hasn’t said for sure, but, my bet is the nanny is a poor African immigrant who ended up in Europe and got swept along to “work” for the OP in the US.  OP saying that this is what the nanny wants doesn’t mean anything, because where the hell is this woman going to go if she makes it out of the basement?[/quote]
