[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nanny was so offended by a request for a doctor’s note that she quit?!?  Honestly she was going to leave you high and dry at some point… if you didn’t give her the right bonus, if you didn’t give her enough PTO, whatever. Good riddance.

OP even assuming the nanny quit all because of your request for a doctors note (what a dumb reason to quit a job), * you * are not “ruining” your friend’s life. There’s no reason this nanny can’t continue working for your friend (after all, you’re the big bad villain here, right?). That’s on the nanny, though she and other posters here want you to think it’s your fault. BS.

It’s also not your fault your friend doesn’t have parents/in laws/backup sitters.

Your friend is stressed and overwhelmed. Give her time to get her childcare lined up (daycare sounds way better than a mercurial nanny) and you guys will probably be able to patch things up. And if not, that’s ok - life goes on.

Lots of lessons to learn here, but all I see is an entitled nanny trying to get out of a nanny share by putting the blame on you. [/quote]

the nanny gave FOUR weeks notice which was way more grace than OP gave her. [/quote]
