[quote=Anonymous]I did it once - loathed the experience - and would never take a job with a grandparent in the house ever again.

My grandmother was hypercritical of both me and her grandchild - saying things like, "It's too bad Larla has such thin hair" and "Larla doesn't seem too interested in learning".  When it came to me she would tell me I was paying too much attention to my charge and her real life will never be able to duplicate that attention.  PLUS she thought I was working for her - she would ask me to get her a cup or coffee or make a pot of coffee while I was in the kitchen making the charge's lunch.  I never even sat down to eat my lunch when my change was napping because she made me feel so uncomfortable.

I lasted three months, told the parents why I was giving notice and the following Monday (after the parents had apparently told her why I was leaving) grandma told me I was oversensitive and would have a miserable life if I didn't learn how to take constructive criticism.  I swore never to be in that position again.

DO NOT TAKE THAT JOB, OP.    [/quote]
