[quote=Anonymous]This could be a drawn out post but I'll keep it short. I've been with my family for four years. I was employed by them at the beginning of my college career and now will be graduating in August. They hired me because they could be flexible with my hours as mb works from home. In the beginning it was only like 10-12 hours a week and now it's a set schedule of 30 hours a week. Since this summer semester is my last one, I've had a few extra requirements lately where I've gone in a few minutes late to work or asked to leave early a few times. Again mb has been absolutely ok with this, very understanding, and really a great employer over the last four years. They know that our time together is coming to a close. And I've been honest from the beggining about when I'll have to leave their family.

The issues I have are related to a friend of dc's (we will call her A). For the record younger dc is 3 and we met her friend from a music class for babies when they were only each around 6 months. A's mom is my age (which is younger than MB) but we got along pretty well from the start. We go over to A's house pretty frequently for play dates and A's mom is always extremely hospitable to both me and DC. Well MB met A and her mom once and automatically disapproved. Like I said she's younger and also A's family doesn't make near as much as MB and DB do. She lets us hang out with them for playdates because dc considers A her best friend and they get along beautifully, but this only happens if I take her.

But MB refuses to have anything to do with A or her family. They won't attend A or her siblings birthday parties, will not answer A's mom when she calls her to invite to weekend events, etc.

Now I've become resentful because this judgmental attitude is just so frustrating to be around. She's always telling me how A's dad is not a provider and that A's mom needs to be working. It's just hard to hear because I now consider them both to be friends, but if I were MB I would suck it up for my DC's sake! Of course they don't have to be friends but excluded dc from her friends bday parties because she doesn't prefer the parents she only met once seems cruel to me. So I end up having to be the bad guy, decline the invites, and try to save face.

I've only got a little over a month left so I'm just pretending it doesn't bother me but it really does. And I don't want to end this relationship with a silent resentment, but I don't know what else to do.

Anyone have any ideas? Or similar situations? If nothing else thanks for reading my rant! [/quote]
