[quote=Anonymous]My son and daughter-in-law have a terrific nanny for my grandson and they are thrilled to have found her.  The nanny is older and probably just a few years younger than I am and has the most beautiful complexion I have ever seen on an older woman.  She and I are of basically the same ancestry (anglo, Irish by her last name).  Last Friday I commented to the nanny that she had gorgeous skin and asked her what products she used.  My Daughter-in-law was in the next room and overheard my question.  The nanny told me the name of her moisturizer and that was that.  
Later, my daughter-in-law told me I was WAY out of line and put the nanny in an embarrassing situation by asking such a personal question.  Come on, seriously?!  It's moisturizer not vaginal lubricant!!!  The nanny didn't seem embarrassed and just thanked me for the compliment and told me the name of the product.  
I know that this nanny is a private person and shares very little information about her personal life.  And I know my son and daughter-in-law are terrified of losing her.  BUT I also know that my daughter-in-law loves to find fault with me.  
Should I apologize to the nanny next time I see her or let the whole thing drop?  Was I out of line asking that question?  Don't even younger nannies and their employers talk about skin care products?[/quote]
