The default isn't that what the nanny wants is what the nanny gets. If it isn't spelled out, both parties are in a stalemate.

+1. If accrual is not specified in the contract and the parents thought it would apply by default but the nanny didn't, that doesn't mean the nanny gets to do whatever she wants. That means there is no agreement as to that term and both nanny and parents must now negotiate how to handle the situation.

As an aside, why are so many nannies on here so crude and classless in their language? Can't you make your point without sounding like a hot-headed fifteen year old from the trailer park?

Your classism is showing. The fact that you attribute the rudeness and crass language on this board to just the nanny faction says a lot about your perceptions. Disagreeing with MBs does not make one rude, and if you take off your blinders you'll see that bad language is not unique to the nannies. I'll take a hot-headed potty-mouth over a condescending, pearl-clutching, elitist.

Um, on this thread at least, the MBs are not talking about pulling accrual systems out of their asses and they are not slinging around phrases like "norms my ass."

Oh I'm so sorry!!! I didn't mean to offend your perfect little virginal ears/eyes with the word ASS because its so much more proper to call someone crude and classless. Its okay to attack a person's character so long as we don't use "bad" words. Got it.
