[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a similar position OP, except our nanny has been staying w/ us all week because she's terrified of the weather.  So I was able to go to work today but I doubt she'll leave until at least tomorrow.

She wants to be a live-in and we don't have the space or desire for a live-in.  As a result she is angry and resentful (openly).  She's kind of sealed her fate this week - which is a shame.  We probably moved beyond being a good fit for each other more than a year ago but I've been reluctant to pull the trigger.

Mother Nature may have helped us significantly this week.

I will be sure to have a much clearer weather policy in the next contract, and to hire someone who is a more confident driver.  (And no - I'm not saying anyone at all should have been on the roads yesterday.  But our nanny didn't drive all week and that's just nuts.  And unsustainable - even if you lived in TExas this week!)[/quote]

We're all damned if we do, and apparently also damned if we don't. Your nanny was at work at week, allowing you to go to work, yet you complain. To think you people thought it a good idea to procreate. [/quote]

???  I am a nanny and your position is insane, PP.  Either the employer has to deal with no driving in bad weather or accept a live-in nanny (which they do not want)?    This is what is called a "false choice".  Any employer has the right to expect reasonable behavior from any employee without being pressured into ridiculous compromises.
