help! my nanny spanks my litle girl!

[Anonymous]

last night, out of the blue, my 4-yr old girl told me that her nanny spanks and pinches her and she said it's when she's being bad. at first, i didn't believe her coz this girl of mine likes to fabricate stories. but my older boys insisted that what she's saying is true coz they've seen the incidents themselves. i felt sad and angry at the same time, i wanted to lash out at her for doing this. but i can't. you see, her grandma worked, and still does, for my husband's family for decades now and she has been very loyal to the family from the beginning. so, in a way, it's from a sense of gratefulness that we've agreed to take on this nanny so she'll have a means of income. now, what can i possibly do? i've told my daughter to just let her be and to avoid being "bad" at nanny. it just feels so wrong!

If this really was true which I don't think it is then you are a a stupid ass for leaving your children with her for even another day. If this was true then I believe your 4 year old would have told you before now and certainly the older brothers would have brought it to your attention before now. I have never called TROLL before because I feel it is overly used on this board but this time I am agreeing with PP's.

Ridiculous. If true, you should not be putting a relationship with a family friend above the emotional and physical safety of your own child. Tell her what is and is not expected in terms of discipline and in general make your childcare philosophy clear. If she cannot comply or you continue to question her ability, find a new nanny. Don't worry about doing other people favours, concentrate on what's best for your kids.

i am the one who post for help.

we treat her right, includes her toiletries in our grocery budget without charging her for it, gave her a cellphone last christmas, and every now and then, i buy her new clothes and shoes. i can't unedrstand why she's still doing this to my daughter!
i did sit her down and we talked, i believe shes sorry and will give her another chance. she's only a child herself, shes 18 and she's remorseful and i think it was how she was disciplined, too, as a child. she just didn't know any better. i believe that there is still some good in each of us. yes, they're my children and she's only the nanny, but my kids have everything they want and she doesn't can you just see what she could be thinking, too? thank you for your response.

This story gets stranger by the moment. It's almost like OP is posting from some third world country. I've never had an MB who cannot spell and speaks the way OP does. Just really weird!

OP, get a life. You can't even formulate a sentence and you don't know how to capitalize sentences, spell, etc. Please move on because you are pathetic.

It basicallly comes down to the fact that you are willing to risk the well being of your children by keeping this woman as your nanny. You need to fire her. We don't want to see you back on the boards saying my nanny put my child in the hospital or she is now dead because my nanny beat her severely. Geeze lady stop being so damn nice to someone that treats your child like crap and fire her ass already.
