[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the family member stealing it and her not wanting to admit it to herself is a good guess.  If you'd replaced the "lost" money the first time I'd be more inclined to think it was a scam.

I have friends who used the same cleaning lady for 4 years, and when they were out of town she brought her teenaged son with her when she came to clean.  He dumped out a huge water bottle (like a water cooler bottle) of change that he found in their closet, picked out everything bigger than a dime, and put all the pennies and nickels back in.  They had cameras, they watched it when they got back.  She *would not believe* that he would steal from them, so they had to let her go.  In the end it wasn't much money, but it was a judgment problem.  Bringing him, not watching him, refusing to believe the evidence.  I think it is something about parents - better to believe a fantasy (my big annual bonus is so slippery I must have dropped it again!) then the more obvious truth.[/quote]

Op here. Yes I agree. She needs it to be something other than her boyfriend or kids stealing from her.

It was a lot of cash, in like $20s and $50s. Nanny tends to wear her jeans very tight. I can’t imagine how the money would fall out, and if it did, I can’t imagine how you wouldn’t see it lying on the ground. The nanny claims i[b]t must have fallen out of her jeans pocket when her jeans were like between her legs while she was peeing at the gas station[/b]. I don’t physically see how that could have actually happened given how tight her jeans are. But even if it did, wouldn’t it be devastating enough that you’d never ever ever let it happen again?[/quote]

People who lie always give too many details.  She's lying to you.
