[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you all are assuming that these people are done with this nanny because they want to go on more vacation. we only know this because OP said this (I highly doubt the family said "we'd like to go on vacation more so we need to put DC in daycare"). is she that reliable of a storyteller given her extreme reaction and that she has "never been more disappointed in two people" in her entire life? [/quote]

Exactly.

I bet the parents' side of this could read something like "We had this seemingly great nanny but the longer she was with us the more over-attached she got, and the more judgmental she became.  It felt like she was questioning our authority as parents and really being way too emotional.  But we like her, and we can't bring ourselves to fire her.  So we decided, when Junior was old enough, to make a switch to daycare and we gave her more than a month's notice.  We figured that would be easier on everyone.  Instead she lost her mind and just totally convinced us we were making the right decision."[/quote]

You bet and you think?  Come on, you have less credibility than a biased OP.

Of course we have to take "her side" as truth otherwise there is not point in having a message board at all.  This is not "point - counterpoint" where we will now hear the MB;s side of the story.  A poster tell their "truth" and we advise or otherwise comment on it.

Sadly, as an MB, I have known parents even more selfish than just sacrificing their child's nanny for a couple of nice vacations and new shoes.  As a PP wrote, you are very lucky to think those people don't exist.

There are parents in my kid's school who send the nanny and tutor to parent-teacher conferences and don't even show up.  They don't even make the time to meet their child's teacher.  Sad.  And this is an expensive private school.  What were both parents doing that is annually more important than their child?!  [/quote]

Good grief, you people are judgmental. My husband is deployed (mom or dad could be on a business trip in another family). I have zero flexibility in my work schedule because I have to cover everything else while he's gone. So the nanny went to the parent/teacher conference. If I could have scheduled the conference at my convenience, I would have gone. But, the day was scheduled by the school. The nanny was available, so she went.

Also, I have four kids. I cannot take four days off four parent/teacher conferences twice a year during the day. I am sure there are others with similar issues.[/quote]

And this is why I would never have 4 kids and work FT. You cannot parent them properly without a partner who is present.

Not making it to parent teacher conferences. Pitiful.[/quote]
