My sister is nanny in Honolulu. She has never uttered the word "charges" to me.

That's why we prefer au pair.. Never called kids charges, always calls them girls, kids or even "my girls".

NP. Full charge nannies have charges. They’re not my kids, and I refuse to run around saying they’re my “nanny kids.” They’re my charges, plain and simple.

Just tell her to use her own. Apparently with her it does need to be said.

Makes no sense.

Sorry, do you have reading comprehension problems? My charge got lice from school, I had no idea and only discovered it the next day. I used her brush and got lice. Does it make sense now???

I wouldn't be too happy about it either but wouldn't say anything since it's not that big of a deal.

You could bring her to the supermarket when you do the grocery shopping and take her to the brush aisle and ask her to get a brush if she doesn't have one. If she asks "why?", just mention you saw her use your daughter's. She'll get the message

I think you’re overreacting. I think using a hairbrush is fine.

I consider hairbrushes a personal hygiene item and was horrified to see AP casually pick up my daughter’s brush and use it.

Does it really need to be said: please do not use other people’s toothbrushes, hairbrushes, towels, and makeup???
