[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I see is that she is clearly unhappy w/the tax issue that occurred and is still holding a grudge against you and your husband for it. When you first hired her on a few yrs ago, you and your husband should have made it clear to her that she would have to pay some of her own taxes. If I were in her shoes, I would have assumed that you as my employer would have just deducted what needed to be taken out. After all, that is what most employers do, right?? However, w/her language barrier she should have had someone explain to her and clarify the whole tax issue prior to accepting the position.

Well now that is all water under the bridge.

Seems things have deteriorated a lot and since two innocent children are involved here and may be affected if they not already are, I would strongly advise you to give her her walking papers.

It's neither side's fault here. It's just a miscommunication that went a little too far and now it's hard to rebuild what has most likely been destroyed.

You can always give her an excellent childcare reference since you said she has been good w/your children. 
But it is not for you to worry about whether or not she can secure future employment or not.

If having stable and secure employment was a high priority for her, she wouldn't have slacked off on her job.

I have had issues w/past families, but have never EVER let it affect my work ethic.

OP here.  In retrospect I understand that you are right.  I should have explained to her how taxes work and that she will have to pay some.  It was my ignorance.  I did not realize that there are people who do not know how taxes work.  We have offered to deduct on her behalf at some point.  She turned us down on that.  I suspect that she was thinking we will just take the money. [/quote]
