[quote=Anonymous]If you want to leave on as good terms as possible you need to have a direct, clear and gracious conversation.

"Dear Jane and Bob, I have really enjoyed working for you, and your great kids.  I've so enjoyed spending time with them.  However, I'm finding that I need a more reliable schedule, and more work hours.  So I will be looking for a new job in the coming weeks and my last week with you will be July X. "

Then let them respond.  There is no blame necessary here - they need a level of flexibility that doesn't work well for you.  So it isn't a good fit.  You can all be great people and still acknowledge that it isn't a good fit.

Giving them 6 weeks notice is MORE than gracious and a lovely gesture.  If they opt not to use all of that, and that isn't a hardship for you, great.

It definitely does sound like your resentment built up to a level that was impacting your behavior and that isn't good.  Try to reset that dynamic and just be honest about what you need in a job.

Good luck.
