[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hold on previous posters, I could be wrong but maybe this MB is just concerned about her nanny driving when she has hurt herself and feels
it is too soon.
OP if you are concerned about this, like someone suggested provide transport to get her to and from work and don't allow her to drive children around if you don't feel comfortable with it.[/quote]

But why? It's a little weird for one grown-up to second-guess another grown-up when that grown-up says she's ready to return to work.

Valid reasons for second-guessing might be if the nanny is on some kind of drugs that might make her loopy, or if she has a contagious disease, or if her condition could affect her ability to safely care for the child because she might fall or pass out or something ... None of those apply here. She might not be able to dance around at Gymboree for a couple of weeks, and OP would be within the range of reasonable to ask her not to drive the kid (the far range of reasonable, but ok), but worrying about her getting to work?

The only way this makes sense to me is that OP is enjoying the time at home with her child. Or, if she's not paying the nanny and this is a huge cost savings. Otherwise, what a huge expense and misplaced concern! The woman sprained her ankle. Sprains can be bad, but she's not even recovering from a break or surgical procedure, and she's been out for a week. [/quote]
