[quote=Anonymous]Yikes.   I would want to be rid of her immediately.  But I would also feel bound to honor the 6 weeks notice.

Tough spot.  She sounds nasty and like you would have been well rid of her some time ago.

If I were in your position I might actually say something like:  "I'm very sorry you are so angry.  We have to make this switch for financial reasons but were trying to be as considerate as possible.  I thought that giving you 6 weeks notice (as opposed to the 4 weeks in the contract) was indicative of the consideration we were trying to extend.  If you do not feel able to provide caring attention to our child for those six weeks and would prefer not to work with us we can make other arrangements.  If you wish to maintain the employment for the 6 weeks you will need to care for our child in the manner we specify (naps in the crib, full commitment of the time we're paying you for, etc...).   If you are unable to do so we will give you the 4 weeks severance specified in the contract and immediately remove our child."

Frankly I think 4 weeks notice is generous given the behavior you've described.

Good luck.  And thank goodness you can be done with this![/quote]
