Am I being unreasonable??
So...my babysitter's van was sideswiped by a semi. My son wasn't in the van at the time, but his car seat was. She was sideswiped on the driver's side. The car seat is on that side. I won't let her take my son until I have proof that the car seat and van are safe. She keeps arguing with me. "It's just body damage" and "The car seat wasn't touched" and "It's not a big deal." I am refusing to let her drive anywhere with my son. If she wants to endanger herself, that's fine, but I'm overly protective of my son.
Thoughts??

When did it happen? If she's not acting normal and it was this morning, I'd worry abo

unsure why she doesn't want to replace it?
The accident was yesterday. She is a very emotional person. She said she was fine, she didn't get injured. She is frazzled. She likes control, that's the part that bothers me. I'm just really annoyed that she is arguing. I think I will look for another
Am I thinking of someone else, or is this the same nanny that got caught smoking?
I would just tell her how it is and if she doesn't like it then she is out of a job
. I don't know why she wouldn't just take your spare?
I don't know about the smoking thing, but I did kick the teenager out because she wasn't taking care of my son the way I wanted.
I talked to the babysitter on lunch. I told her that she needs to stand up to her insurance agent and tell them the
I think insurance covers that too... <img
