NF: Am I Being Unreasonable Here?

[Anonymous]

I lost my only sibling, my beloved sister last Thur. to breast cancer.
For context we were never had much of a relationship with our parents and we were extremely close.

I work Mon. - Thur. weekly.
I am not only devastated (am finding it hard the past few days to eat, shower, get out of bed, etc.) but need to get some of my sister’s affairs taken care of.

I told my NF about all this on Thu. and requested next wk. off.
They told me that was too much time, that two days max was all they could swing.
They said I could take off M + T but not the rest.
I have been with this family now 2.5 yrs.

What would you do??

Id walk away from such cold and heartless clients. You exist too and they aren't acknowledging you at all.

What a fine way to treat the person who cares for their kids!
You should just forgo even returning back to work at all, meaning find yourself a brand new family to work for as soon as possible. Let the family know that they can begin their new nanny search today.

The right thing to do would be to let you take off based on your info.
But you haven’t said how much vacation you get? Sick leave? How much you’ve used already this year?
If you’ve used it all already offer to take it unpaid.

Yeah I’d walk this is disgusting behavior on their part. I am sorry for your loss

That's only something you can decide.
