I agree.  No matter if you are saying something nice, OP, you are still a butinsky.  No doubt you also would tell if you THOUGHT you witness her doing something of which you do not approve.  [/quote]

Not necessarily. When I see some one being short with the kids, I don't automatically assume it's like that all day. Everyone caring for a three year old who asks why why why all day long + a reflux baby is going have some not so perfect moments, like when loading the kids in & out of the car and trying to get to drop off on time. Kinda stressful, no? So if I hear a harsh tone "stop running and get over here!", I don't automatically assume that I know everything I need to know in order to report it to the parents. If I see abuse, then sure I would report that but a general lack of warmth? I can't assess that with a single snapshot without further context.

Conversely, when I see the nanny handling a stressful situation with warmth and kindness, that says a lot IMO. I would have given her the benefit of the doubt if she got frustrated with the kid's meltdown, but she didn't. That's notable.  [/quote]
