[quote=Anonymous]I’m wondering if I’m an a-hole for doing this.

We’ve had our nanny for 3 months now and all the while I’ve tried to find reasons to keep her because she does a phenomenal job in every way except, I can’t stand her!

She came highly recommended and has a child development degree. 
When we hired her, we did mention we wanted someone who could “take charge”, but boy, oh, boy -take charge she did!

She doesn’t need to be told what to do, she gets things done. Is engaged with DC. Has play dates with other nannies. 
She has taught us a trick or two. She is not useless but her personality makes me want to drink a bottle or two of some good  red wine before we even talk.

Basically she’s a know it all. I mentioned something about tomatoes and she made it a point to say  “actually they’re considered a fruit, due to how they mature!”.....

Or she will try to discuss with DH about the latest discussion in his profession, or interpret data from a medical journal he gets. I mean, I get it she wants to have something to talk about besides poopy pants or show how smart she is but we don’t care about that

Anyways, how big of an a-hole would I be if I were to fire her because we’re not a good fit due to personality clashes? She seems to think we get long. I just put up a good face. 
  Has anyone ever done this? Please make me feel better. I already feel terrible about even thinking of doing this but for my sanity ...[/quote]
