[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I always acknowledge birthdays but don't buy gifts. In fact, [b]I usually make cupcakes or something from scratch using ingredients from the family's pantry.[/b] Kids don't much care about cards and they have way too many toys to begin with so I would not feel obligated to do either. As far as parties, I need my days off and time away from my charge and I have a hard time standing by while MB works. Even if MB didn't put me to work it would be awkward to just stand there and watch her serve, clean, change diapers, stress out, etc.[/quote]

Not much of a gift.

SEriously?  MB here -- I'd love that, and a great activity for my toddler son. I don't need gifts from people, but gestures like that are nice, and part of education for a child.

OP, you are upset that there was no mention of your son's birthday at work, not that the nanny didn't acknowledge the party, right?

I agree it's a bit weird.  I'm not a birthday person either but really kids are all birthday people with very rare exceptions.  And it didn't require $, just even asking about how his birthday was?

Not sure what to say, but if this is the only thing you've been bothered by over 6+ months, I'd let it go.  If there are other things, perhaps you can mention them here.
