If I started my period at work, I wouldn't just "help myself" to a tampon or sanitary pad. I would call and ask my mom boss first. It is my responsibility to keep track of my cycle and plan ahead.

Bad sign. It will just continue and escalate into more items. I would let her go.

If you see MB "helping" herself to a few office supplies, quit, because before you know it, she'll be helping herself to your paycheck in some sneaky way.

This thread is about the nanny, not the mb. Are you a thief who feel justifies your stealing by this concept?

Stealing is stealing, no matter who's doing it. It's still wrong. Sorry, MB, no free pass for you.

Not a Mb. I noticed on some threads when a parent is asking for advice regarding a situation, it comes back on the parent and I don't understand why.

Just let it go. Don't look for a fight.

How does that work, PP? I reduce your paycheck and you don't notice?

Seriously? Wow. Sucks for you, that you feel the need to do that. Just curious, by the way--and what, exactly, is she supposed to say when you call and "ask" her? "No, you can't have a tampon of mine, nanny. Just bleed all over the place or drag my kids to the store to get some."?? Before you say it's about "just letting her know," if that were the case, do you think your MB wants to be bothered in her work day to give you the go-ahead to use a tampon? Probably not. So I'm sure you could just "let her know" at the end of the day, through a text or something. Not by calling and asking permission. That's assanine.

I'm going to have to agree and make an exception to this as well. I can't imagine calling or texting mb/db while they are at work to ask.

I would just say:

Hey, I went to grab a bunch of stuff from my BJ's stash and noticed a few things missing. I know its hard for you to get out and shop, so if there is anything you need me to pick up for you, please just let me know.

(then decide by her reaction if she stole it and what you want to do)

I don't mind someone taking a roll of TP but I'd like to know so I can replace it. I have done it to my mom a few times but I tell her or she brings it to me. I wouldn't mind toothpaste and other stuff too as long as I was told so I can replace it. And, personal stuff to use in the house, is fine. I would not want to be called over a tampon or pad. Just take it but tell me if its getting low so can replace it.

There is also a difference between a single bag and a whole package of ziploc bags. I wouldn't care about someone using some of the tp on the roll, but if they are taking the whole roll, then there better be a good reason (ie for kids snotty noses in car, for trips out when public restroom has no tp, etc). Anything job related is a good reason, anything for your personal use outside of the job (like your home) then you should ask. Most MB's probably wouldn't care and if you needed a single roll or tube of toothpaste, would be like "oh here, please take it" and then I would replace it ASAP. Just taking it without asking/mentioning it though, is just rude.

Some women like to use larger bags. I've seen some nannies toting around colossal bags and purses.

Op here; Yes, her bag is a decent size and she also has a vehicle. The first thing I assumed was that if she was stealing items, she was stashing them in her trunk.
