[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why do you have a nanny when you obviously can't afford the LUXURY of one?

If you do lay her off, are you going to give her a severance (you should!)? It makes more sense for you to skimp on dinners out, and exotic vacations and keep your nanny for the probable short shut down. Your unemployment tax will go up, and your next nanny will cost you more.

But again...can you really afford the service of a nanny? It really sounds like you can't. It's okay. You don't have to play the game of keeping up with your wealthy neighbors. Trade in your nanny and your leased Lexus for something within your means.

What a ridiculously stupid response. Are you trolling? Do you even know what a shutdown is?

Obviously, OP can afford her nanny. If the government shuts down, OP and her spouse are effectively laid off until Congress gets its act together. She won't get any "severance" or any emergency funds. She won't need a nanny because she can't work. Everyone suffers the effects of this, including the nanny. This isn't OP's fault. OP clearly doesn't want to be in this situation. This is Congress's fault. Specifically, the Tea Party Republicans.

The best thing OP can do is warn her nanny
 and let the nanny decide if she can wait out the period of unemployment. If she can, she will. If not, she will move on.[/quote]
You are one of the most clueless posters ever on this forum. If the parents can't afford a loss of income, how in the hell do you think a nanny can? Of course she's going to immediately job hunt. Duh.[/quote]
