[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Here.

I see in my absent we have a lot of assumptions in place.  Let me make this clear.

As I said in the OP, we were both in bad moods.  The differences is I didn't snap at my nanny.  She did, however, snap at her boss. I called my nanny in early to help me clean up after the children, and care for them.  That is her job, and she agreed beforehand.  I did NOT spend "less than normal" time with my sick children.  I took off for the day, but had to go to a meeting around 4.  I was with them all morning caring for them and cleaning up after them just like the nanny.  Yet I didn't snap at her, it's a difference of emotional mentalities.  It worried me knowing someone who will snap under a little stress is around my children.  I asked you a very simple question and the feedback had nothing to do with what I was asking about.

Thank you for the few who did reply accordingly.  [/quote]
 
You made it very clear that you most likely didn't speak very nicely once home (in a bad mood), that you were late, and that she had been dealing with YOUR puking kids all day long. Sometimes people accidentally say or do things they regret. Most of this time, it will be after a very long, hard and stressful day and happen after someone ELSE who is definitely not in the best mood, talks with them.

You STILL didn't make clear what you had said to her, how late you were etc. Most people were trying to find this out to see exactly if it was something that just happened to push her over the edge at that time, or really shouldn't have happened on her part. The way you just replied makes it seem more like she got pushed, spoke out and was sorry that she did it. You don't seem like a very caring person. I have pity for your nanny having to deal with someone like you.

I wouldn't call doing what she did all day long, having to deal with YOUR lateness and your bad mood as well as a "little stress". [b]She also didn't "snap" at your children, nor "snap" in the true meaning of the word. Her words were a little harsh, slightly out of line, but really who is to blame her at that point?[/b] The feedback had lots to do with the situation at hand as well. Sorry you can't take true criticism from people. Your nanny didn't really "lose control" in the way that would have anyone worry about their children. I would in fact worry about someone that seemed to hold that type of thing in too much, as they are more likely to "snap" and "lose control" and do something serious later on.[/quote]

OP, your response leads me to agree with this poster 100%. Sometimes when a mirror is held up in front of us we don't like what we see...[/quote]
