[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, the parents will freak. But you are correct to leave them. Tell them about someone in your family who just had a accident and they need your help immediately. Don’t give them any notice unless you can afford to be let go immediately. They’ll be so vindictive that they’ll want to get back at you for resigning.

Congratulations and good luck on your new job!

No notice? WTF is wrong with you people?!?  I see this all the time. Be professional, even if your boss isn’t. Do the right thing in AL aspects of life, regardless of what others do!  And don’t lie to get yourself out of a an uncomfortable situation!  And PP is supposed to teach children to be good humans??? Wow!

OP, have you previously brought any issues up? What are the issues and how long have you been working for the family?  I think those things help us to give you advice. Personally, I like to live my life in a way that I can feel great about the kind of person I am and the values I hold, therefore I think PP’s advice is complete shit! At first, keep it simple and tell them (including in a written letter) that Friday the whatever, will be your last day and that you will miss your charges tremendously and that you’d love to stay in touch and are available for occasional sitting if they are interested. If they press, which they will, your answer, in my opinion, would depend on the issues you’re having and how far you want to delve into that. [/quote]

While I was writing, more responses came in. I know your other post and am glad you decided to leave!  Simply tell them you need more stability and a reliable income. They will likely offer that to you at this point but it’s too late. Just say, “I’m sorry, but I have found a new position and start in 2 weeks.”  If she yells at you like she does to those poor children, walk the F out and don’t look back. Good luck and good for you![/quote]
