[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I bought $40-some dollars of kinetic sand from Amazon. It lasted one afternoon and she threw it out because it went everywhere so she wiped it up with paper towels and put it with the food trash. I think this is what broke the camel's back.

She does use paper towels a lot though although I wouldn't mention this topic just for that. Sometimes she is talking to me while washing hands and she pulls out the paper towel from the roll probably an arms length (3-4 squares), wipes her hands and throws in the trash.

She's 24.

Crayons broken? Trash.

a 250 pack construction paper with just a little scribble on the corners and folding b/c 2 year old had a couple of minutes with it? Of course those are used so they would obviously be trash.

Made a plate of chicken nuggets and no one is hungry? Trash in 5 minutes (She doesn't even leave it out for later.)

I think she needs a talk but I feel like I'm asking her to change her entire style of being (at our house, not sure what she does at her house), not just change one little thing. I feel like I would be asking "Can you be a different person?" I'm not sure if this is worth it. Maybe I should just get a new nanny.[/quote]

BTW, Kinetic sand sticks to itself so cleaning up is like playdoh. I had been balling up all the pieces that fell on the floor and putting them back into the bag to play with until next time... the next time the nanny found it and it was gone..[/quote]
