What do you do when your nanny keeps a blog?

The New York Times writer Helaine Olen says that when she first started reading her children's nanny's blog, she was envious. "I felt I was young and hip by proxy. I might be a boring mother of two, but my nanny, why, she dined in the hippest Williamsburg restaurants and rated the sexual energy of men and women she met." Within two months of finding the blog, however, Olen's relationship with her nanny completely deteriorated.

Olen writes that at first, she defended the nanny, though her husband wanted to fire her. But then a line was crossed when the nanny started posting to her blog while on the job, and writing about her employers and how she wanted to sterilize herself after spending the day with Olen's children. Finally, the nanny was fired, though she wasn't told it was because of the blog. Olen says she still reads her ex-nanny's blog, every once and awhile.
