MY SONS COMPLAINED THAT THEIR NANNY WAS ACTING ODD, SO I SET UP A CAMERA TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.
Being a working mom is exhausting. My husband? The classic “carefree” type who never lifts a finger around the house. So, I hired a nanny — Emily — to help with our two boys. I thought I was finally getting a break.
But every evening, my kids would say, “Emily wasn’t really with us today.” At first, I brushed it off. How could a nanny just… not be there? She was responsible for them! But the complaints didn’t stop.
So, I set up a hidden camera in the living room. All day at work, I couldn’t shake the nerves. That night, I pulled up the footage with shaking hands. At first, everything looked normal. Then Emily walked in, took off her jacket… and my husband, Ben, stepped into the frame.
My heart dropped.
Ben wasn’t supposed to be home during the day. He always said he was “busy with work.” But there he was, standing in our living room, smiling at Emily like he hadn’t smiled at me in years.
They didn’t even notice the kids in the background.
Emily laughed softly, tossing her hair over her shoulder. Ben reached for her waist. My stomach twisted.
I leaned closer to the screen, hoping—praying—that I was misinterpreting what I was seeing.
But then he kissed her.
Not a quick, accidental peck.
A slow, familiar kiss.
My hands started shaking so badly I had to pause the video.
So this was why my sons said she “wasn’t really with them.”
Because she was with him.
