Did you send your nanny shopping with your son?
Your son-brown buzz cut hair, blue shell raincoat, 5-8.
Your nanny-brown curly hair, wide flat face, fair skin, broad nose, eyebrows with semi circle arch. Grey jacket with blue stripes on sleeves. Medium height, medium-to large build, 25-35.
Carrying bags I passed these two on South Camden & Charles Blvd. on South Camden Drive. Nanny was arguing with the child about going back to school tomorrow. She was complaining that because she had to wait for his antibiotics to work she was stuck out shopping with him. Nanny was telling child that when she was a child "being home sick from school mean being in bed not out shopping for video games and ball caps". The nanny carries a very large tassled leather bag. She was struggling with her bag and the shopping bags. She screeched, "if your okay enough to be out shopping, you can carry some bags". She then handed child two bags which he managed uncomfortably.
Boy's face was red. Would hate to think some Mom sent her nanny out to let son pick out video games to play because he was sick. The nanny treated him with disreguard. Like gum on her shoe. When I met eyes with her, she dared to roll her eyes at me. As if I would sympathize with her and not the child!

I'm curious if you saw where the bags were from... kid oriented stores or stuff the nanny bought? It would annoy me (though I am not a nanny) to have to take a kid out shopping if they are supposed to be in school. Plus, if the antibiotics hadn't kicked in, and it was something like strep throat, he was contagious to everyone around him...
I don't know.. this seems hard to call...
It seems the mom told her to take him to get video games and ball caps. She sound like a very unpleasant person, but the child is old enough to either like or dislike being with her and express his feelings to the parents. My guess is, she has this job because she cleans well, and she is a housekeeper, not a nanny.
You think she has the job because she cleans well? Who would trust their housekeeper with their credit card? Not me!
If only the nanny had the courage to state her sipleasure to the parent that sent them out, rather than the child. I think she had a point about being off school sick not being a free for all 'lets have fun' time. However that doesn't excuse scolding him when its the adults in his life who should be making the decisions about where he goes when he's sick.
1:12, Me. Most housekeepers do the grocery shopping, purchase household items etc. and many families provide them with a card for this purpose. If you don't trust your housekeeper, you need a new one!
OK, I live right near this intersection. There is no street called Charles, it is Charleville. And there is nowhere in that area that you can walk to to buy video games, as far as I know. Sounds far fetched to me...
You know, there are some mothers out there that may talk to their child like that. How do you know it was or was not the mother of the child? Your so called blog seems to be just a bunch of bullsh*t as you judge others in this world!
