Accidental text

[Anonymous]

Nanny accidentally texted me "I miss you baby" while she's on duty with my kids (not napping). We talked about phone use at first, and I told her short phone calls were fine and web surfing etc. when the kids are sleeping is no problem. What do you think?

I think you need to grow up.

By all means, elaborate.

I would let it go. A text here or there while the children are occupied seems pretty harmless. Excessive phone use is a problem. This seems petty.

Only a sick control freak would concern herself with such a thing. Please find something useful to do with your free time. Or do your own babysitting.

Before this gets nasty, I haven't expressed an opinion on it yet- I am truly just curious what others think. Certainly I'm not angry. I'm trying to decide whether I am annoyed.

I'd text her back. "I miss you too, baby. I miss the days when you used to actually watch AND engage with my kids, rather than just keep an eye on them. I'll be home soon sweetie, and then we can discuss this later."

Well. Either you're annoyed or you're not. It seems like you are.

I'd let it go. That's a short text, not a lengthy reply to an ongoing conversation and by my estimation takes 20 seconds to type. Not worth damaging your relationship with the nanny to make a fuss over it.

If this is one piece of a bigger problem then that's different, but just that one text would not bother me.

This was very funny

To the other pp: I'm not pure id. I think about things before blowing them off or flying off the handle. Thanks to the constructive pps.

Or just looking for drama.

This is beyond immature and rude. If my boss replied in this way you can bet I'd be giving notice by the end of the week.
OP, how old are your kids?

Don't even bother telling us how often your nanny door swings. Lol.

MB here. I'd think this was cute, and funny, and maybe a little embarassing for her.

That's it.

I totally agree. Let it go, OP, and get a life. Ok?
