[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it would be nice to treat the nanny like an actual human being and invite her.  She is the one that you actually have known for 1.5 years - not the parents.  [/quote]

Are you saying that, under normal working circumstances, MBs treat their nannies as subhuman?[/quote]

Clearly.  OP doesn't know if she should invite the nanny.  [/quote]

No, OP doesn't know if the nanny feels friendly towards her and her child, or if she's just part of the nanny's work life and the nanny would rather not be bothered with a party on her free time.[/quote]

Nannies, being human beings, are capable of RSVPing "no".  Nannies can do many amazing things, PP, like speak, think, feel and respond.  Why, nannies are almost like real people!!!!!  [/quote]

But then the nanny is the one with the burden of deciding whether to give up her free time or potentially insult the hosts. If the OP and the nanny had developed a close friendship, OP would have invited her as a matter of course. They clearly have not, so it is entirely reasonable to wonder how an invitation might be received.[/quote]

Nannies, being humans in society, have undoubtedly been in a position to RSVP "no" before in their lives.  I doubt writing, "I am so sorry but we have made plans for Saturday!  Happy Birthday, Larla!" would be considered an undue burden by most adult humans.  As a nanny, I know I have done it before. [/quote]
