[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband would NEVER touch our nanny.  I gave her a big hug after we presented her with her xmas bonus and raise, and my husband just smiled and told her to have a great xmas.  That is a pretty obvious one. I'm really sorry you have to deal with this OP.  Honestly, I would find a new job.[/quote]

I'm a nanny and I have hugged my boss when the job ended to say goodbye. I have also hugged goodbye when I see them. For example, I saw an old boss in Starbucks. We hugged. More on his initiation but I was fine with it. I recently met with my former nanny family. I hugged the mom hello and then hugged them both when I left. It was always a quick hug with both and I have never felt uncomfortable.

While I agree that OPs boss was crossing the line, I don't agree all male employers are looking to cop a feel. A relative passed away and my current DB rubbed my arm and I saw it as nothing more than a sign of support. I have never felt uncomfortable with a male employer and I believe that is because they are all upstanding men. I'm also classified as attractive by most men. While my male employers have glimpsed at my chest or maybe looked at me, I don't care. It's human nature to find a person attractive. I tell my MB's all the time that they look nice in a certain outfit. I've never been sued for sexual harassment.

I understand your husband avoids contact with the nanny for various reasons but please know that not every nanny will think your husband is hitting on them if he gives them a quick hug ( with you in sight). [/quote]
