Pregnant nanny wants to quit earlier than agreed upon

[Anonymous]

I hope this is a troll post. I doubt your job was more strenuous than your nanny watching your twins at the end of her pregnancy.

If you're real, keep your selfishness going & consider if she's saying she can't do it, then how good do you think she'll be with the twins?

I hope she sues when you decide to withhold the severance pay. She will win in no time. And boy do you deserve it. Lawyer speaking here.

On a more empathetic note, if I had to guess, I would say you are someone who was has probably experienced some hardship in your life, you managed to make a stable life for yourself somehow, and have now decided that you pulled yourself up by the bootstraps and so should everyone else. You are taking vengeance on someone for your own shit is my guess. I hope you get help.

I had to take leave two weeks earlier in my first pregnancy. I could barely walk. Did not expect it, expected to work two more weeks.

Oh well.

You're just mad because you're inconvenienced. Get over it and find someone else. Quit thinking about your agreement, contract, etc. Move on.

It's her freaking child, her health and her life. She should not go above and beyond for you at this point in her pregnancy at all.

OP decided not to raise her own children. Ugh.

We originally agreed she’d stay until she was to give birth. Most first pregnancies go past 40 weeks so we were counting on her being with us through March. She states the last minute change is because she’s not sleeping well and is in pain. I call bluff. I carried my twins till 39 weeks and worked a much more strenuous job until my induction. I think she’s upset we decided to part ways and not have her return with baby.

We’re still debating on whether we are ok with this or not. We’re thinking of instead cutting her hours at her 37 week mark to only part-time? Of course if she goes into labor sooner we can’t really control when she’s gone but it would be ideal to keep her until at least the 1st of a April.

Since you call bluff and carried your twins till 39 weeks I'm sure you can figure out how to take care of your own kids without help. Since you're so much better than everyone else this should not be a problem. Good luck keeping any help. Nobody will be ok with you. No debate needed.

You want to retaliate against a working woman who has given notice by cutting her hours?

You are a skinflint for not paying her severance.

You sound like a nutcase ! Are you even serious.? You don’t deserve here . Ps I went onto labor at .37 weeks so going into labor early does happen. Your a selfish pig

The replies understood the assignment but, unfortunately, the poster probably doesn’t really care. Heartless people like her are probably here just to troll.

This. You’re a very very bad person OP. I wouldn’t have been able to work past 6 months. I wouldn’t have known that. Pregnancies are unpredictable. Both of my kids were in the NICU. One was there for a few days and he was born at 34 weeks. The other one was born at 38 weeks but he stayed in the NICU for 11 days. Some women have to be on bed rest. I had very bad sciatica and was in PT. I was in so much pain. This lady is telling your she’s in PAIN but you are in Lala land. It’s unbelievable you’re a mom and are this selfish. Shame on you, OP.
