[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you going to tell us what the "one thing" was, or just waste our time too?[/quote]

I’m guessing the latter. Seems to be OP’s thing. [/quote]

NP here.  Why does it matter?  The issue, as I read it, is that the decline was made in person and the moment was awkward.  It isn’t about whether the thing was reasonable or not.  [/quote]

Obviously some things would be beyond the pale, and they are so extreme that everyone would agree it was totally inappropriate and that the nanny could not stay one moment longer ("you would be responsible for burying the dead bodies," sex acts, preparing tomato aspic covered in mayonnaise every Thursday, etc.). Just as obviously, there are some things which would be so far within the pale as to be ludicrous to raise as an objection ("you would be expected to be present in the room with her while she is awake").

What we don't know is where this "one thing" lies in the vast gray zone in between. If it's close to one of the extremes, then it matters in making sense of this, and OP might either be legally insane or absolutely have been slapped in the face by the experience. If it's in the middle, maybe not relevant so much.[/quote]
