[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. Whatever the nanny did, she should have told you. I write down everything the kids ate, what we did that day and any special concerns.

I don't think there is anything one could say in defense of keeping milk from a 1 year old and not telling MB.[/quote]

+1 from another nanny.

There's no excuse for something big like this being withheld from the parents knowledge. Regardless of what the nanny thinks is best (right or wrong) that child is not hers and she should be listening to the requests from the parents. In an office job if you deliberately do something your boss tells you not too, you could be gone in a minute, regardless of the final outcome. You're not the parent or the boss, and while of course your opinion should matter, major decisions such as this one should be left up to the parents. [/quote]

While I agree that the nanny overstepped, I don't think its as clinical as you are making it. In an office job, you boss is HIGHLY unlikely to give you a task that is physically harmful/not in the best interests of the child. As a nanny, when working with first time or uninformed parents, you can sometimes receive directions that your experience and knowledge tells you is not in the best interests of the child. What are we supposed to do then? If I were this nanny, I would have continued to voice my concerns, and if ignored I would have let MB know that I am not comfortable continuing to feed DS dairy until it is eliminated as the problem. With the "I'm the boss, I know everything, I hired an experienced educated nanny just to say I have one" attitude of a lot of MB's here, doing even this may get a nanny fired. I think it is OP who should humble herself, because she created a moral conundrum for the nanny, when she ignored her advice/concerns.[/quote]
