@Kailey saw your comment and just ordered the nanny cams. We have a secure place for items but for me, it’s the principle 😅
I get that but you're stuck between a rock and a hard place it sounds like. Random Babysitter or trusted family member? I know it's annoying, hopefully your spouse didn't take on her irritating traits 😂
I think you or better yet your husband since it’s his mom needs to confront her about it in person or on a phone call. It’s so easy to pretend you didn’t see a text and pretend it never happened.
Tbh I don’t think either are a huge deal - the food thing definitely not. The going through the nightstand is invasive, but unless she weaponized seeing spicy pictures or made nasty comments I’d let it go. You told her to please respect your boundaries and she already knows your baby, so IMO it’s worth letting go of what happened for now and leaving your baby with someone you trust. If it happens again going from there.
Set up a nanny cam and catch her in the act. Or put up a safe and put all your really personal stuff in there?
