[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm curious as to what you all think of this. I raised the pictures tonight and asked that she share them with us. I offered to set up and pay for a Dropbox or other similar file sharing setup. She was highly reluctant, saying she didn't know how, etc. I told her we would show her. She then said "I will give you some but these pictures are for me. I want some just for me."

I had to walk away at that point. We are the parents. There are no pictures of our toddler and baby that we should be denied seeing. She has done this kind of thing before - telling me not to say a certain word to my son because it is "her word" with him.

So, what do I do now? I'm absolutely not ok with this and think it signifies a bigger problem. I am planning on telling her in the morning that her keeping pictures from us is unacceptable and non-negotiable. Any thoughts?[/quote]

Your nanny is in the wrong.  The fact that she doesn't want to share the pics with you is a huge red flag.  While she owns the copyright to the photos, she should be sharing them with you.  And the whole not wanting you to use certain words with your children?  Way too creepy.  Your nanny has broken boundaries that should not be broken. You may want to consider finding a new nanny.

May want to consider?

Fire her. No questions asked. And likely I would go a step further and get a lawyer to draft a letter of some type informing her you explicitly have not given your permission to use or publish photos of your minor child and requesting all photos be deleted etc. who knows if it holds water but I would try to scare the crap out of her.

You are right.  I was trying to be polite about it.  The nanny needs to go.  I think they need to get her to sign a confidentiality agreement before firing her.  If they don't present it until they fire her, she could post all sorts of photos they didn't want her to post.
