[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point I think it would be appropriate to have a fairly direct conversation with her OP.

"Judy, I'd like to talk with you for a minute so I put a video on for the kids.  I need to clear the air and make sure we are on the same page.  I am feeling uncomfortable with the references to money, financial needs, purchases, etc... for items you need or want - such as the plane ticket you asked Richie to ask me for, or the purchases you feel I should make for the kids - such as the new coat or pants.  I hope that you feel you are fairly compensated.  If you do not, I would prefer that we talk about that directly.  I want you to know that you represent the way we prioritize our usage of money.  We want to pay you fairly within the marketplace, and on a couple of occasions we have been pleased to be able to help you a bit in the past (such as when...)  However, we work very hard to afford the luxury of having your excellent care for our children.  We are frugal with our money in all we do in order to afford this lifestyle, and we want that same sense of frugality instilled in our kids.  Therefore, I will repair things that can be mended, or teach my children to keep track of their things and I hope you will support me in that.  And if you have concerns about your compensation level you should bring those directly to me and John.  I do not want you using the children as messengers.  If any of this is a problem for you let's talk about it now."[/quote]

OP here, this is perfect. Thanks![/quote]
