[quote=Anonymous]Here are OP's exact words: "When we hired her she expressed that she would rather not do date nights or weekend work. But three years later, and very much in love with our kids, she’s offered to do weekend work [b]only[/b] because our 16 month old will absolutely not tolerate a babysitter and sobs her eyes out." I've bolded the operative word. Does this sound like the nanny really [i]wants[/i] to do it? Or is she feeling guilty/pressured to do it? Also, it's so interesting that the thought of the 16-month-old "sobbing" is enough to get the nanny to offer to help, and for OP to be ready to pounce on that, but it isn't enough to get the parents to not go out in the first place. This is a scenario where OP is thinking of herself first. [/quote]
