[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of the issues described would turn me away, but then I am a professional nanny with years of experience. From what you wrote it is obvious you didn't bond with these children or give them a chance. You judged them right off the bat (golden child, brat, pervert, etc.) and they can pick up on that. I have worked with families with unique needs and kids with difficult behaviors for a decade and not everyone is cut out for this.[/quote]

Being a live-in nanny without a way to lock your door wouldn't turn you away? Your boss coming into your bedroom after hours is just fine by you? I think you have boundary issues.

OP, something is clinically wrong with that child. Something may be deeply wrong with the family. The dad probably didn't disclose everything because he hoped that with you, there'd be a fresh start, and he naively hoped his son would be different this time. Spouses of abusers do the same thing - pick up & move and think, this time it will be different. Spouses of cheaters hope that if the guy just gets a new job, gets away from that one coworker, the temptation will go away and he will be faithful now. It wasn't fair to you and you made the right call in leaving immediately, but the dad was hoping what any parent would hope - that his son wouldn't be a monster, if only given the right chance.
