[quote=Anonymous]OP again. I want to clarify that MB does take the boy out of the house. They go to the park and the store with DB (who returns from work by 4pm). I don't know that they go out every day, but I know they do sometimes. MB just doesn't let K take DS out of the house. It's definitely an issue for DS though, because 90% of his waking hours Mon-Fri are spent in one room, and K tells me that it is having a noticeable negative affect on his mood and behavior :/ DB definitely does not know the extent to which his son is confined while he is at work; K never sees him though (he is already at work during her entire shift, comes home after she leaves).

I've spoken with K about this a lot the last two days. She is planning to send MB a carefully worded email (given her high anxiety about this issue I think a face to face talk might be too confrontational). She's going to ask one more time to consider letting K take him to the park that's right down the street once or twice per week, and explain how important it is for him to get fresh air, exercise, a change of scenery, and interaction with peers. If MB says no, she's going to give her notice within a few weeks.

She does need MB to be a good reference, as her employer for the last 2+ years, so sadly she is not in a position to go behind her back and talk to DB or suggest MB get the professional help she clearly needs. I do agree with the PPs who pointed out that MB will be forced to reevaluate when no other nanny will agree to spend the entire day in DS's bedroom.

Thanks for listening and the insights everyone.[/quote]
