[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. After much thought, I've decided we will let her go when school starts this August. I will try to make it work on my own in the afternoons with work. When the baby gets here, I'll take care of all three on my own, knowing the big kids will be in school half the day. When it's time for me to go back to work next spring, I'll decide then what to do, whether daycare, scale back at work, or find a new nanny. Everyone on this thread was snarky AF which really wasn't necessary and made awful assumptions about me for simply asking a question, but this helped me determine that I really don't need a nanny at this point in our family life, and I should stop trying to stand on my head figuring out how to keep her for 14 hours a week, for only a few months. [/quote] Op, it seems like you still need a bit of self reflection. Yes, maybe there were some posters that crossed a line but when a vast majority of respondents are telling you that you are coming across as selfish, entitled and unrealistic….maybe the problem is you. Nevertheless, glad you have realized that a nanny is clearly not the right option for your needs/budget constraints and hope that both you and your former nanny can find situations that are a better fit.[/quote]
