This may not be the forum for this but I am sooooo sick of seeing the nanny "Sherri" mistreating the boy in her care. He is five or six and his name is Jake. He has a sister Amanda who has long, brown hair and is eight or nine. The nanny is always rude to the boys but dotes on the Amanda. Amanda is often with a friend of hers of the same age with long, wavy dark hair. It doesn't really seem like Amanda needs to be doted on because she has a friend that she is always with. Meanwhile Jake is always with the nanny. He looks like a very, sad boy. Maybe the nanny feels cool, like she is one of the girlfriends- but her walking with the two girls and Jake dragging behind breaks my heart. If he is behind them, she says "hurry up". If he is ahead of them, "get back here". Yet there is zero connection between the two of them. I can't figure out the deal with that nanny but you should consider that if she is that mean to him in front of her sister and on a bustling public street, I dare not imagine how she treats him when he is alone with her. Anything Amanda wants (soda, to stop here or there- she gets). All Jake hears is "no". And never even a nice no! Amanda's friend is "Finn". If this reaches the parents of Jake and Amanda, you might want to talk to Amanda about sticking up for her little brother!
