[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pp who made the point about triplets is absolutely correct. I have two friends who had triplets and both had childcare to assist them with caring for the babies bc it was too much for one person during the day. Plus, you have a toddler. It just won’t work. [/quote] So it’s too much for a mom to do this but yet it’s fine when it’s at a daycare and the ratio is 1 to 4 and this person is being paid minimum wage and has a hard time getting a bathroom break? They also don’t get PTO and get sick a lot. Ummmm okay makes a lot of sense! [/quote] That’s irrelevant. What is relevant is that OP pays her nanny over 100K per year. She’s allowed to dictate what she wants going on in her own home with her own children. Also, the point about the summer house and the nanny moving in with the family for three months at a time is a huge issue here. It would be insane for OP to have nanny bring her newborns with her. And what would the father of the nanny’s children think of this arrangement? This is just an untenable situation all around. Moreover, caring for three newborns and a toddler when you are one person who may be breastfeeding and recovering from childbirth is an entirely different matter. OP—please consult with an employment lawyer to ascertain what is legal. Then come up with a solution that will be relatively clean for your conscience and is definitely legal. This isn’t about women not being nice to each other. There is a way to let go of the nanny in an illegal and somewhat compassionate way. OP-I feel for you and the nanny. Kudos to you for trying to make this work. You sound like a compassionate kind and fair employer. Last, stop with the nonsense about women being unkind to other women. Nobody is talking about or blaming the dads in this situation. Last I checked it takes two people to make a baby.[/quote]
