[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny did exactly this and then once she was there had some convoluted reason she needed to extend by 2 more weeks. Then she came back and was a changed person, forgot to pick up one of the kids from preschool, etc. we ended up having to fire her. 
Why not have her do this while you are away in the summer?[/quote]

Maybe she was a “changed person” because she just went through the death of her mother?! Perhaps it was hitting her much harder than she thought and due to your coldness felt a “convoluted” reason would be better than trying to explain grief to you? Or was her saying she was still grieving the “convoluted” reason she gave you? Obviously it’s not acceptable to forget a child but it sounds like you have no empathy.

You also don’t know how to give advice…Did you even read the post? You want the OP’s nanny to “do this” aka her mother’s burial “in the summer” when the family is on vacation? Are you really that self absorbed that you think death and burials wait until they’re convenient for you ?! And if you missed this very important detail then your nanny didn’t do “exactly this.”

OP, I would pay her for the time she will be away, even though it goes over her PTO. As someone else said, it’s not like this will happen again, she had one mother…[/quote]
