[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really sorry you're going through this OP. I went through this myself about two years ago. It was heartbreaking for me because all of a sudden our relationship turned into penny pinching and feelings of resentment. It made me feel really cheap and sad when they offered me a $1 raise. I love their children and go above and beyond every single day for them. When we finally compromised (I don't think either party was happy about the final pay decision) and the baby started coming to me, the relationship was still strained and all of a sudden the mom started micromanaging me to the point where she was texting me about once an hour asking for updates -- which was really difficult to respond to when I had 2 toddlers and an infant! I was very close to speaking to the family I was on good terms with and giving them the option of staying with me and looking for a new share family or letting them search for a new nanny with the other family (leaving them on good terms). I was about to sit down and have that discussion when the first family (the one I was having problems with) told me they were moving out of state. It was sad to see the children go but a huge relief. I did not want to leave but my job was becoming unbearable. Now I see the out of state family about 2x a year and the MB and I text all of the time -- now that they are no longer my employers, the tension has disappeared and we have a wonderful relationship. I understand that I got lucky and you don't have that option, but I wanted to let you know I've been there and I feel for you. Had that family not moved out of state, I would have had to stop working them. Best of luck[/quote]

Thanks for the support, it very comforting to hear other stories. I think it also has to do with me suggesting this will be my final year with them as I'm finishing my degree and going into another field. I could leave now but I wanted to end on good terms but if things don't change I may have to leave before my year is up.[/quote]
