[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I was considering making a post about my recent "birthday gift." I've been working with my current family 3 days per week for two and a half years. The first year, they gave me a jar of jam. This year, after two years of faithful service, they gave me a small, cheap looking vase that looks like it cost less than $5 ( and they didn't even give me any flowers to put in it!). I'm always very generous with gifts for her children on their birthdays and Christmas. Should I say something?? It feels rude that they couldn't get me anything nice at all (it feels like they just forgot and found something lying around the house). Plus, both last year and this year I worked for them on my actual birthday (and reminded them about it in advance). Is there anything I can do? It does feel like a slap in the face :([/quote]

It's not about what gift you get. Be grateful.[/quote]

You don't have to actually be grateful but you have to act gracious and you definitely can NOT say anything.  I'm actually the OP of the thread and ended up giving our nanny a $100 gift card plus 2 picture frames and my parents got her a gift as well.  So obviously I feel like your NF should be more generous but if you say anything it will not be well received. I think you are the OP of the thread about a raise for a new baby right?  It doesn't sound like they are a great family to work for so if you decided to move on no one would blame you but you absolutely cannot say anything about wanting a better birthday gift.[/quote]
