[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I got a response this morning. I talked to her and I apologized. I took your advice and told her she will never see my father again. He's kind of a jerk - already fat shames my mom and my SIL. I didn't think he would do it to our nanny. She has agreed to come back. We are excited.

DH is not fat shaming her. He spouts off things in general, not just weight. He's never commented on her weight. It's things like " you should eat this. It had so many antioxidants". You should "eat this - it's healthier". DH is a good guy and wouldn't purposely hurt her or anyone else's feelings. [/quote]

It doesn't matter what *you* think your DH is doing, it matters what your nanny thinks.  I would be insulted if he did this once, and if he did this continually...  I would be looking for another position.  I am overweight due to genetics, but I'm fully capable of running around after kids and keeping them moving.  The only time I tolerate that question is during an interview, and I always offer to take the kids to the park and play tickle monster.Once the parents realize that I can run after 4+ kids to keep them moving, keep my eye on multiple kids and that my endurance is faaaaar longer than a child's, there's never a problem.  I understand that they don't want a couch potato who will allow their children to sit and stagnate, so being able to prove my abilities (just like I prove my experience with discipline and education by offering suggestions about what might work when the parent is facing a new situation) isn't a big deal.[/quote]
