If this is the worst complaint that you have regarding your son's nanny, then count your blessings OP and congratulations on winning the nanny lotto!

She cares so much for your son. This is quite obvious to me.

And for your insecurities over which college had more prestige... This shouldn't even be an issue for you.

I hate to sound harsh, but this doesn't even count as a gripe in my eyes.

She went to a top college (it seems from the post) and is still a nanny. Thus you can save your money in worrying about where DC goes, seems like a win! MB and DB went to X state school are employers, nanny went to YXXX or HXXXXXX and it employee.

I get it, OP. I want my kids to wear my or DH's alma mater only too. But is this a hill you want to die on?

That BITCH!!

Adorable

WWYD?

She is too good to be your nanny and you are intimidated. Fire her and hire someone who went to a 3rd tier college so you can feel superior to "the help."

Is she using her own money or your credit card/cash for stuff for your son to buy them? This would bug me if it was all going on my cc. If she is buying stuff on her own, then whatever. Did you ever read "5 love languages?" Some people show affection with gifts. For them, it's like a big hug to another person, or an "I love you" to a third person.

I think it's adorable.

I probably wouldn't care unless her school played my school in sports. That would be disrespectful.

I'd thank her and let him wear the t-shirts as sleeping shirts. But we have a policy of not letting our kids be walking advertisements. I'd also ask her to stop buying him things, but we're on the minimalist side.

As long as she didn't go to Stanford, I don't see what the problem is.

Go Bears!

I would totally ignore it. It's just clothes and your son will outgrow them in no time at all. What impact do you think a logo on a shirt will have?

Wouldn't you want your child to go to a better university than you or DH did?

Count your blessings and get a life.
