But, as you say, she is not able to control herself for long...and her writing is transparent...so even at those times when she gets a little something going, somebody usually recognizes and outs her, so she doesn't get very far. Mostly, I see that people simply ignore her attempts altogether (presumably having recognized her outright and not wanting to give her even the satisfaction of being mentioned...since negativity seems to be what she thrives on.) I still think simply ignoring is the very best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-10837115594588641102008-01-11T04:59:00.000-05:002008-01-11T04:59:00.000-05:00It sure has been (kinda) nice and quiet around her...It sure has been (kinda) nice and quiet around here lately. ☺<BR/>I'm waiting for the bottom to drop out at any minute, though.<BR/>People like 'her' can only control themselves for so long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-66475361465495251582008-01-11T00:37:00.000-05:002008-01-11T00:37:00.000-05:00Mom, that was me who called her that, and all I me...Mom, that was me who called her that, and all I meant was that she sure does prostitute herself here and do whatever it takes to get the attention she's after.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-31562642432983497312008-01-10T23:11:00.000-05:002008-01-10T23:11:00.000-05:00fg,You may be right.

One was posing as the "Christian" lady who swore a lot and judged everybody (except the nanny who was sleeping with her boss, who she thought was just swell)...and the other had another thread all bogged down in pointless grammar wars? When we recognized that she was both people using different names (and a few others also, all at once) she went completely psychotic, ranted incoherently for a bit, and then "disappeared." But she has been recognized all over the place ever since...mostly as "anonymous," but also using a few new and different monikers.

If she ever came back, I would welcome her input. As long as it was genuine.<BR/><BR/>I hate to comment on the comments rather than the posts, but I do have to say that I have 3 or 4 friends who in varying levels live in fear of their nannies. I wanted to write a rant post on them because it is so infuriating. Here are some examples (Westchester County, NY):<BR/>I am out shopping with my friend of 6 years. We are shopping leisurely and suddenly she looks at her watch and panics. Asking, "is it X o'clock already"? I say, "yes". She says, "I have to run, if X (her nanny) has to take X (her 2 year old) with her to pick up X (her school aged child), she will be pissed". I know for a fact this nanny makes $750 per week cash off the books for what I would call "bankers hours".<BR/>Example 2. My husband and I arrive to another friend's home closer to the city. We are going to see a play. Her husband is not back. My friend apologizes, saying "I'm sorry, X (her nanny) wanted X (an ethnic food) for dinner and he's caught in traffic. He should be back any minute". As it was he was back in 5 minutes, but the nerve! I know for a fact that this nanny feigns ignorance in the kitchen-not only can she not do anything to help them with their meals, but they cook for her!<BR/>My last example was this afternoon. I called my friend X on her phone. I hear she is driving. "Where are you", I ask. "I am in Yonkers returning something", she says. "What did you buy in Yonkers", I ask. "We got X, (her nanny) a stereo for her new house, but she said she would rather have the money, so I took it back".<BR/>Bile rises....<BR/>Perhaps it is a cultural thing. I don't know but it really turns my stomache.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-83583201109751940942008-01-09T17:19:00.000-05:002008-01-09T17:19:00.000-05:004:29, (again?) you are either new here or haven't ...4:29, (again?) you are either new here or haven't been following along. You obviously have no idea of the frequent poster I was referring to as the bootlicker, and if you don't know her name and her antics, I wont fill you in. Just try to catch up with the rest of us.<BR/><BR/>Aion't no way, IF you are not the usual phony suspect, you are in the wrong line of work. Anyone who advocates intimidation tactics and has the education of a lima bean is NOT a nanny, more like an entitled babysitter, and should NOT be left in charge of anyone's children.

It's one thing to say, "Have you seen this missing item?" and quite another to handle it the way they did. I would feel like a real creep if I did that to somebody and didn't AT LEAST have the decency to apologize. I don't know how this can fully be made up for, but an apology is where they need to start. I understand how humiliating that will be for them...but they made their own bed. Perhaps having to share some of the shame they were all too willing to heap on this nanny's head will help them remember to be a little more tactful in the future. Sure, the item was valuable and perhaps difficult to replace...but isn't the nanny also both of those things to them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
