[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here. I'd be astonished at this (and quite honestly, I'm jealous! I wish our nanny had half the discretion of yours!) I can't see how it could possibly be wrong to express your condolences. Obviously she didn't want to discuss it with you, so you can fully respect that and not pry, while still saying "I just heard that your mom died in October and wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss." Then leave it at that unless she indicates in some way that she'd talk further. I wouldn't ask her why she didn't tell you.[/quote] + 1. And I am jealous as well - our nanny can't shut up about her personal life. But I would definitely give condolences but ask no questions. You described her as "elegant" and perhaps she was too emotional to mention it to you without breaking down. I would respect that. [/quote] Add me to this list of jealous MBs. [/quote]
