[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was inadvertently doing this to my neighbor! they have a full time nanny and my child would just run down there most days to play. I assumed it was fine but as I am working until 6, I was never able to offer to host here. My neighbor ended up confronting me and let me know that her nanny felt really taken advantage of, and moving forward, she would like to be paid for watching the extra kid. I was so embarrassed! Of course, I saw her point of view and now we have a good system for playdates that everyone feels comfy with. Just communicate and set clear boundaries. [/quote]

Be real. It wasn't "inadvertent". You were using someone else's childcare. OP's neighbors are the same, but hopefully they have an attitude like yours and will be embarrassed but move on with no hard feelings. [/quote]

The nanny is in charge. She could have said no. [/quote]

DP. She did and should not have had to. Clearly you have never had to work at a job with this kind of power differential. [/quote]
