[quote=Anonymous][quote]PP-- you don't just don't get it. Either because as a nanny you have never experienced it, or as MB/DB you are unaware that you are doing it. You would understand if this happened to you.

And this post isn't about being taken advantage of, it's about your employers loosing respect for you and treating you like part of the furniture. That you aren't a very special employee that is doing the most fantastic job helping you raise their children.[/quote]

Thanks for clarifying. You are correct. None of these complaints are about being taken advantage of. They are about you not being thanked enough for being a "very special employee".

Well, welcome to the grownup world of work. Most of us are not thanked profusely for doing our jobs on a daily, or even weekly, basis. Many of us save lives and are never thanked. This is life.

Find some joy in the little successes of your day. Maybe MB doesn't remember to give you a gift card on your nannyversary, but I bet you get smiles and hugs from your charges. Try to appreciate that and complain less. Who knows, maybe you will be able to stay in a job for more than 2 years![/quote]
