[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's an astonishing revelation : most people don't like their jobs and disagree with their boss on certain things but they bite their tongue and do it anyway because that's what adults do.  Or they quit.But if they're lovely people and good employers then I'd say you're being petty and/or self defeating. It's not your kid,  so why do you care?  They're paying you to look after their kid in their way.  They're not asking you to treat yourself or your kid in a way you disagree with.  It's their kid,  for the most part your opinion is irrelevant baring a major safety hazard or something illegal.  But differences in food.So what. [/quote]

I am certainly able to just go along to get along, but I have spent a lot of time learning about positive discipline, outdoor education, childhood nutrition, etc.  with my current family, I have to basically forget all of that and follow orders.  Many, many little judgment calls have me second-guessing myself and I'm not really enjoying my work.  With previous families, my knowledge in these areas was viewed as an asset, not a liability and I could make judgement calls knowing that the parents and I were thinking about things with the same set of basic principles in mind.

You seem to equate being a responsible adult with being unhappy at work, but that has not been my experience.  I feel 100% confident that I could find another job where I can feel that I am being the very best nanny I can be, rather than a good-enough nanny for hhis family.  I just want to know how to phrase my departure, since I would be looking for an on-the-face similar job (same area, same age, same pay, same hours) so there's no easy excuse as to why I don't think we are a fit--they obviously do think so![/quote]
