Being a single parent is hard enough, but losing your nanny and your MIL’s help can make it even harder. This is the situation that our protagonist is in. After losing his wife, he took an indefinite leave from work to care for his daughter, Sammy.
When he returned to work, he asked his MIL to recommend a nanny to help take care of his daughter. Instead, she offered to do it herself for free. Everything was going well until he noticed that Sammy was not feeding as much. It turns out that his MIL was trying to breastfeed his daughter, which he did not approve of.
After confronting her, he fired her as the nanny but then discovered that she had also fired the new nanny he had hired. When he tried to confront her, she refused to leave and threatened to call CPS. In the end, he called the police and she was charged with trespassing.
Now, he is second-guessing himself and wondering if he took it too far by involving the police. It’s a difficult situation , but it’s important to prioritize the safety and well-being of his daughter.
