[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lady, it's nice that you care so much, but you need to move on and encourage the kids to move on too. There's nothing wrong with the one kid having an obligation. My DD has stuff come up last minute all the time for school projects, clubs, lessons, etc. Shit happens. [/quote]

NP here.  I am an MB and I know the bond my son has with his nanny.  I don't think that you do understand that bond.  Abandonment (which is how the child feels it) is not the way to "move on".  Yes, shit happens.  And yes, in my opinion, OP should reschedule with the other twin for a later time but to say simply forget about the kids is very damaging to the kids.  OP was their caretaker and solace for 80% of their lives.

I pray, for your DD's sake, that you are not so dismissive of her relationship with her nanny.  [/quote]

My daughter is just fine. The kids shouldn't feel abandoned since the nanny or parent (or both) should have explained to them that the nanny was moving on or the kids had grown out of needing a nanny or whatever. I didn't tell OP to forget about the kids, but to move on with her life and encourage the kids to do the same. [/quote]
