[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, but this is the reality of the position.  16yo don’t need a nanny.  The position is now housekeeper/driver, but if all she does is drive, cook and do laundry and dishes, it’s not even that.

In your mother’s position, I would have used the upcoming surgery as a way to gracefully exit on good terms, especially since you never know how it will go for recuperation.  It’s better to start over with a new family after the surgery.

Since she’s only been with the family 14 years and the youngest is 16, she didn’t start until the youngest was 2.  Extrapolating that, at least one older child was 3+, so someone else did much of the hard work of “raising” the toddlers and infants.  I’m not saying that she didn’t work hard (I don’t work with infants under 6 months, and I work hard!), but saying that someone who supervises children before and after school “raises” them is a misnomer.  Now, if she was working 8+ hours per day and they never saw their parents, then I’ll agree with you.

I hope you mom recovers well.  At this point, if she quits while recuperating, she’s unlikely to get a decent bonus, even with the number of years she’s invested in the family.  I also don’t think taking 6 weeks for surgery will endear her to them, so I’m not sure what her next step will be.

When does she think this position will end? [/quote]
