[quote=Anonymous]Hi all.

Background: I was the nanny for 3 little boys for five and a half years. I was a live-in nanny, and worked 50+ hours a week. My first couple years were bliss, I felt valued and respected. The last 3 years I felt that they took me for granted, not appreciated. The thank you's for going above and beyond became scarce. I loved those little boys, they were my life. After working with this family for over five years, they told me I was not needed anymore because MB was going to work from home more, the littlest was going to school, and they needed someone to do more housekeeping. They said they needed me to work for 2 more months, until they traveled out west for summer vacation. I stayed on for those two months, even though they wouldn't allow the time for me to go on interviews, I had to make them on weekends. They also chose to only tell the little ones about me leaving at the end of summer vacation. I chose to relocate to NYC, for my new position.

Well... I stayed and worked those two months, and then the family went to their vacation home for the summer. And that was it... Hardly a hug goodbye. Five and a half years helping raise their children, living in their home and nothing! I went to NYC for the summer to look for a new job, and came back to DC to pack and move my stuff to NYC. I didn't expect the family come back until the next week after Labor Day, but they did. The kids knew I was leaving at this time. I was pleased that there would be a second opportunity for a propper goodbye, but again nothing. I packed up, and moved my boxes into the moving van, without any offer of help from them (MB & DB were taking the week off from work). Then the night before the big move MB was cooking up a storm up stairs for a family dinner... And they didn't even invite me up. The next day I was off for good to NYC.

I feel so very hurt that nothing was done for a farewell for me. Not a card, not a sentimental sit down chat, not a sweet gift like a picture of the boys, no thank you bonus for staying on those 2 extra months, not even a freaking invite to a last dinner. I felt pretty used. And this was 3 months ago and I still cry about it. I want to let them know how hurt I am.

Have you ever had a similar situation?
