[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think in general it is a not acceptable, but the question is what were the circumstances?

1. Is AP coming from culture where it is totally fine, as some “it take a village” cultures are?

2. How well AP knew the nanny?

[b]3. Why AP had to go to the store to begin with (eg, “child threw up everywhere in the car and I urgently needed Clorox wipes” is totally different from “I felt like getting a coffee”$? [/b]

I think circumstances and the fact that it looks like the nanny did not kidnap the child and everything was OK, would determine the next step. You can be furious, but what is productive next step (explaining it is not OK, or a more stringent reset conversation, or rematch)?

This. I'd be worried about poor judgement. If AP had to go to the bathroom, then it's a good practice to take your 3yo along and make them go potty too. If 3yo needed a snack and AP was out of food, 3yo should have gone with her. What was the circumstance that 3yo couldn't leave the playground and go with her for a few minutes??[/quote]
