[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very tough situation to be in, OP.

I would try to initiate conversations about your own mother, OP, telling MB of the warning signs you missed or about your mother's various odd behaviors.  Don't even mention MB's mother to her -- just talk about your own mother.  Something you may say could strike a chord with your MB and get her thinking.   [/quote]

This is a good place to start. Give it a week or so after that conversation and if MB says nothing more than maybe be more direct. [/quote]

I think this is too indirect, and also too personal.  OP is the nanny - so her job is the safety of the child, so it's reasonable to touch base w/ the mom regarding that.  I would far rather have my nanny come directly to me w/ a concern about the safety of my child, than to hint around at something by sharing personal stories from her past.  Maybe I won't get the hint, maybe I wouldn't connect it w/ my situation, maybe I'm worried about my mother but wouldn't discuss that readily, maybe I just want personal/professional boundaries.

So be gentle but be direct.  [/quote]
