[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apologize to nanny and tell her you cannot cancel the trip, but you can cancel your mother. Ask if this is acceptable and emphasize no hard feelings as it was your mistake.

Tell your mother your nanny is threatening to quit and you can’t afford to lose the care. Emphasize this was your mistake and rebook her for another special weekend.[/quote]

This is good advice.  You need to repair your relationship with your nanny STAT if you want to keep her.  Tell her you were wrong, you were trying to do the right thing by not making the weekend too hard for her, and that you never intended to insult her.  [/quote]

OP hasn't figured out yet that her relationship with her nanny is damaged. She's worried about her mother. It's all about her mother.

And she wonders why nanny doesn't want to come and do a challenging job (that OP admits she could never do herself) with her easily offended and obviously #1-in-the-universe mother hanging around judging everything. The mother who could never mind the kids herself but "she's a great helper!" And the fact that the mother is offended shows that she just doesn't get it either. I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

In a few weeks there will be a post from OP about how her nanny quit "with no notice at all!" and "they had absolutely no idea that anything was wrong!!" and how can she ever survive.

Some people are just clueless.[/quote]
