[quote=Anonymous]I've worked for my NF since August 2013 and until a week ago there were nanny cams in each room of the house. We've gotten along beautifully, but an incident this past week has upset me and I'm not sure how to approach them about it.

My schedule is 12-14 hours per day 5-6 days per week. Last week I took my usual two days off and one additional day due to illness. I worked Thursday, but when I returned to work on Friday morning both parents asked about a small scrape on the toddler's face and pointed out two pencil eraser sized bruises on the top of his ear. I told them I was aware of the scratch the previous afternoon, but it had happened while I was helping the older child with his homework. I cleaned it up and forgot to mention it at the end of the day. I have no idea when the bruises on the ear appeared or even if it was while I was caring for the kids. The Dad brought it up again Friday night and again Saturday morning. Nothing was said on Sunday. I was off on Monday and it has been really bothering me. I'm sure if they are insinuating that I didn't watch DC closely enough or worse, that I did something to him. Either way, it feels like a complete lack of trust and it hurts.

Let me also add that NF is from China, so there are some major cultural differences in the way they deal with employees which can be nerve wracking by itself.

How would you bring this up with your NF?[/quote]
