It's not your place to determine the standards OP has in her house.

^^ That's a shame, your kids are supposed to be playing independently, while supervised. Maybe you should spend less time on dcum and more time reading about child development.

This is OP. I have a toddler and a baby. There's no "independents" play happening at my house.

OH yes, you sure showed us. I'm at work now, munching on popcorn and playing on the nanny forum, while paying someone to watch my kids. Life is just a dream sh-boom sh-boom...

LOVE how quiet this thread got after the web surfing MBs were called out.

Not okay in my opinion, and I am a nanny.

It bothers me a lot less than hypocritical MBs who post on DCUM when they are, presumably, not on a break at work either.

+1 How does your boss feel about your DCUM surfing OP?

I'd be more concerned that she doesn't seem to care that you know she's posting during non naptimes.

You shouldn't be friends with your nanny on FB at all.
I would be bothered by it as well but would let it go if everything else is ok.

I'm not friends with him on Facebook so don't see that. I don't think employees being friends with their bosses is a good idea. Boundaries are important.

I guess it depends how often this happens.

I am friends with my nanny on facebook, so I see her posts. Facebook has time stamps, so I see that my nanny is posting at times that are not naptime. I don't care what she does during nap, but it bothers me that she's on facebook during non-naptimes.
