Should this issue be addressed?

How did your coworker know the guy she left with was a "strange guy"? I'm not sure I'd take a coworker's gossip as truth, if I were you.

But, more importantly, what your nanny does on her own time is absolutely none of your business. How would you feel if your boss approached you and said some coworker saw you drinking after hours with your friends and thinks you showed poor judgment with regards to who you were talking to or left with? Unless your nanny is bringing men into your home during working hours or is late/unable to do her job because she is drunk or hungover...it's none of your business what she does off the clock.

Yes, I'm an MB.

You may feel comfortable leaving your children with whomever, but I to air on the side of caution, my children mean the world to me.

My friend saw her come in Chilis with a few girlfriends, get drunk, and leave with a strange guy.

Lady, you are CRAZY. I am also a MB and see nothing at all wrong with this. Maybe one of her girlfriends was driving home, maybe they were taking mass transit, maybe she or her friends knew the guy, but even if they picked him up maybe they were then all going to a club from Chillis. But again, even if they weren't and she was taking him home so what? She's allowed to have sex with guys. You think her thought process was "I'm gonna go home with this guy, have unprotected sex, hope for STD's and then KISS those kids I work with so they'll get herpes! YAY!"?

No, OP, I didn't say that. But YOU said, in your first post, that you and your children loved the nanny and had no problems with her. I'd hardly call that leaving your children with 'whomever'.

Game. Set. Match. Troll.

"Air on the side of caution"? Instead of stalking your nanny, you should brush up on your grasp of idioms in the English language.

*but I try to err on the side of caution.
There. Fixed it for you, OP.

If your children mean so much to you that you would question the legal behavior of your sitter on her private time (which, incidentally, is none of your business), than it's time to stay home with the kids.

You have no idea what the situation was (they might of known the person, they might have left the restaurant together but went separate ways, might have gone to a club then left by themselves). So she drank. I can drink a lot more than the average person does and not be trashed. I naturally have a high tolerance. I can drink 3 shots and be less drunk than someone who drinks one. If you don't drink much than that could seem like she was not in control of herself. But you know what? It was on her own time and you cannot control that. Unless she is drinking on the job, none of your business!

WOW!!!!!!!! I hope you do address this with your nanny and that she quits on the spot without notice, and then finds a wonderful family with a normal MB who isn't a crazy person.

You need to get laid and MYOB.

[Anonymous]

If I had you for an MB I'd have to get drunk and laid on the weekends too. I don't do drugs, but I might have to start smoking pot just to deal with your crazy ass.

Get a life OP, you are a moron.

[Anonymous]

Wanted to chime in and say this is none of your business.

I hope you mention it to your nanny anyway, so that she knows her life outside of work is not private and personal, and that you are keeping track of gossip, extrapolating from limited information, and judging her character.

I'm in my 30's and *gasp* married I do the same. Leave it alone, if these people aren't around your children it's a mute point.

What your nanny does in her free time is her own business as long as it does not directly impact her ability to care for your kids in your home.

If on her days off, she gets plastered then has one-night stands, then that is her business.

Doesn't mean she will bring random men into your home.
