[quote=Anonymous]The bit about her eating the cake sounds odd, but I do think you should have checked with the mom before holding a birthday celebration at her house with her kids.

There are plenty of reasons why she might have been unhappy about this.  She may have been concerned that other adults and kids were present in the house at a time when maybe it wasn't clean or there were personal things lying around.  That may not have been the case, but she didn't know that.  Also, some religions don't condone the celebration of birthdays (Jehovah's Witnesses, for one).  Or maybe she is comfortable with some types of cookies and sweets but not others; personally, I don't mind my kids having ice cream and "healthier" cookies but would not want them eating most grocery store bakery cakes because the frosting is basically Crisco with sugar.  (Yes, if this is served at another kid's birthday party, I would let it go.  But I wouldn't want it served to them at home.)

Finally, OP, even if the MB is being crazy because she is stressed and in the middle of a divorce, there is no excuse for your co-nanny having basically told her, in your words, to screw off.  You shouldn't be surprised that treating your boss with disrespect triggered a call to your agency.
