“Unusual” nanny at the park.

All the nannies and parents at our playground duo out our kids toys and let everyone play with them. On Friday, a new nanny and toddler came into the playground and dumped out a huge bag of sand toys. Of course all the little ones were on those toys like white on rice and the nanny told the other kids no - that the toys were for the baby. She kept saying, “these are baby toys”. So we all backed off and redirected our kids/charges.
Why do you think she did that? Do you think the parents told her not to let anyone else play with his toys? They were just regular sand toys - in fact I dumped out the identical set for my charge. When this nanny’s charge started to play with our toys, of course we let him. Strange, right? |

| That is strange behavior from a nanny. I’m guessing the parents told her not to let anyone else play with the toys. |

| Yeah - weird. I’ve seen mothers pull that crap but never a nanny. Are you sure she was a nanny? |

| Maybe a family took toys of hers last week and so she is being over protective? Maybe the kid isn't good a sharing and she is not interested in a tantrum. Maybe she is the mom and not a nanny and wants her stuff for her? Maybe she is the aunt or cousin and is just helping out? |

| Not strange. We never share our toys as we often don't get them back, if we do they get broken and germs. Bring your own. |

Are you a nanny? |

+1. Why bring toys to a public park if you aren’t going to share them? The kids love playing with other kids toys! And it’s great for the kids to learn sharing and cooperating. |

| What’s strange is you asking about this. She/they didn’t want to share no big deal. MYOB and worry about your charge not keeping track of who’s sharing or not. |

Why shouldn’t they bring their own toys? Not everyone has to share. Kids need to learn they can’t always get what they want. |

At a park? Where everyone else is sharing? Get real. It’s ridiculous when a parent tells little kids they can’t play with sand toys and even more ridiculous when a nanny does it. |

But it’s okay when the non-sharer plays with other kids toys? What are you teaching him exactly - that what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine? |

| Says all the parents who don’t share and would die if someone asked them to share - get real. In case it’s forgotten we are still in a pandemic no one should be sharing any types of toys. |

| It's hard to tell a little cute that he is not allowed to play with a bunch of new sand toy that he usually doesn't see everyday. They get excited and they want to play. Maybe it was just a thing of the nanny and no the parents. When I take my charges to the playground sometimes they want to bring a toy, a little car or a ball or so; but they know that if someone ask to play with it a little bit, It's very nice to share. Same way that other nice parents and nice nannies share their toys with us sometimes. But I have seen myself a couple of nannies acting same way that Op said. Maybe they are not so nice and friendly. Who knows. |

Did you miss the part where the nanny let the kid play with the other kids toys? Wouldn’t they be more germ-ridden? |
