[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's an excuse. Can an extra dollar a week in travel expenses really prevent you finding a bonus for her in the budget? [/quote]

That's not the point.  First of all, OP has never mentioned anything about a bonus.  It was another poster who said give less of a bonus if nanny is lying but it has nothing to do with what OP can afford.  Obviously this is confusing and no one, including OP, knows exactly what is going on and if the nanny is really lying but say she is.  Do you really think that a nanny who lies in order to get extra money deserves ANY bonus?  To be clear, I'm not saying the nanny IS lying, the whole thing seems odd to me, but if she is she doesn't even deserve to keep her job, let alone get a bonus.[/quote]

OP DID say she was tying to decide how much of a bonus they could afford to give (as if this miscommunication over a few cents is going to make or break it.)[/quote]

Oops I missed that, sorry. Although from her post I didn't get that she was saying this issue had anything to do with how much bonus she could afford. I understood it as she was saying she's hurt that the nanny would lie when OP is trying to figure out a way to give her a good bonus. In other words she was trying to be good to the nanny while the nanny was trying to take advantage. The thing is though that we don't really know the nanny is lying. The whole thing seems bizarre. Why would she lie over a few dollars a week?[/quote]

OP here.  That's it.  what I pay her for transport would not affect our ability to afford a regular bonus of a $1,500 we usually give.  As i was saying i was trying to figure out how we can come up with a large bonus to give her this year.  I happened to know that the nanny has some amount of debt and wanted to see if we can give her a large sum for Christmas that would let her get out of it and live comfortably.  I was simply feeling a little hurt over this and was not sure how to react
