[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your nanny is feeling angry and disrespected (which I understand), and is feeling a little humiliated and unappreciated about being left outside to stew while another adult in the house was taking a nap. She doesn't want to quit her job, so she's taking it out on your son (IMO). He is three. The punishment needed to come immediately after the event, there needed to be a lot of talking about it, and you need to do something to make sure it doesn't happen again, like possibly change the lock so DS can't mess with it.

You also need to make it clear that you take this seriously and you're really, really sorry about the rough day she had. [/quote]

I don't mean that you're apologizing for your son -- I can't tell from your post whether he's a typical three-year-old having a bad day, or out of control, as a PP suggests. I mean that as a fellow adult who has had horrible days taking care of children you love, you commiserate with her and feel bad for her. Make sure she doesn't think that you think she should just not care about this kind of thing because she's paid to take it, or something.[/quote]
