upset at nanny -- vent
Hello ladies, I'm unlurking to vent about my nanny.
I got the stomach flu Monday night, so I stayed home Tuesday and Wednesday. So, in one of our casual conversations, the nanny told me that when she's taking a snack break, Pillbug mouthes so excitedly that she GIVES HIM A BIT OF WHEAT BREAD! I almost fell off the sofa when I heard that! Here I am, giving every new food 4 days to check for allergies, making everything myself (pureeing and freezing in little 4-oz. bowls), putting everything in the order she's supposed to use them, and she just upsets the whole applecart by giving him something that contains (1) wheat and (2) dairy and (3) chemicals. But that doesn't matter. I DID NOT tell her to give him bread, so she should not give him bread. She was completely bewildered. She's so simple sometimes. I was trying to explain allergies (I'm allergic, family history of allergies, plus a DOCUMENTED -- while she's been in my employ -- sensitivity to dairy causing eczema in Pillbug), so DO NOT give him wheat. She's like, uh, wheat bread is so basic. Besides, what chemicals are in that anyway? She said she's never ever read ingredient lists. But, that's all beside the point! I just can't believe she snuck wheat to my little boy. So far, thank goodness, he hasn't shown any sensitivity. But, I told her she is never to do this again. She's a great nanny, otherwise. I've never found cause for dissatisfaction before, but this just got me fuming! It's all settled now, but I need time to get over it. -- Anita -- Pillbug's almost 8 months! |
