[quote=Anonymous]Slow down, ladies.  We don't know why the MB is concerned about this.  It could be a security concern, particularly if someone in the family works from home in a field like banking, law, or medicine where she handles confidential client information.  Apparently it is very easy for people sharing a WIFI connection to hack into each others' email and possibly other files on a home network.  Also, particularly if someone in the house runs a home-based business, it is entirely possible that they have an Internet plan where charges are based on the amount of data transferred.  This is more common with small business plans than with residential plans, and it doesn't mean that the family is cheap or skimping.

The nanny absolutely should have asked permission to use the WIFI connection, but the MB shouldn't have left the password out in plain view.  Depending on where it was left, it may have been reasonable for the nanny to infer from the posted password that she had permission to use the connection.[/quote]
