[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here.  I'm sorry OP.  It all sounds awful, and absolutely clear that the best thing for all sides is to walk away.

I think you should just assume that you and MB are both past the point of no return (and probably weren't a good fit from the beginning).  So you just need to get through the next 4 weeks (or decide to cut your losses and walk away).

If you decide to stick out the 4 weeks then you need to be prepared to show up for the full day's work you're contracted for, regardless of the circumstances, and just tough it out.  I can understand why you wouldn't want to do that, and maybe she's just hoping you'll walk away.

It's utterly miserable to continue to work in an environment that is openly hostile - and it sure sounds like that's what you're describing (on all sides).

Good luck.  I hope you find a much better fit with your next position.[/quote]
You probably didn't mean to, but it's completely disingenuous say it was a "bad fit." Some parents are simply nasty and abusive. OP's employer is a PERFECT example. Don't you think?[/quote]

No, I don't assume that.  I think that the MB probably has a version of the story where the nanny didn't get a raise and immediately made it clear she would be leaving.  Maybe MB thinks the nanny was always critical of her family, her parenting style, her household, etc...

My hunch is that this relationship (between nanny and MB) was never very good.  It's impossible to tell who is at fault, and I feel for OP having to suffer through 4 more weeks.  But I can see enough anger in OP's post to imagine that there are complicated dynamics at play so I don't assume anyone is blameless.  I was just trying to offer OP what she said she needed - a little kindness.[/quote]
