[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm an MB.  I think it sounds like your current arrangement is decent, but not exactly what you want for much longer, and that's perfectly fine.  It doesn't sound to me that you're being taken advantage of, and as an MB I appreciate your consideration of supporting the family and trying to be thoughtful about how your leaving would impact them.

If I try to put myself in your MB's shoes I would want several weeks to prepare for your leaving, and maybe even a way to manage you moving out and someone else moving in.   I think the housing aspect can complicate these things.  Perhaps you could tell them that you will be moving on and plan for a date when you would move out, as well as a date when you would stop working?  A lot depends on your relationship with them - people could always kick you to the curb faster than you're ready to be done if they find a replacement.  But a live-in replacement can take longer.  If you make it easy for them to have someone else move in that might be appreciated.  (If you gave them 6 weeks notice for the position but planned to move out in 4 weeks for instance.)  That way they could clean, paint, advertise, let candidates see the space, and possibly have someone move in quickly enough to have a smooth transition.

In either case I wouldn't give them many months notice, unless you are really prepared to leave much sooner.

Good luck.  You sound really considerate and I hope the MB is equally considerate of you in return.[/quote]
