[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of y'all are so dramatic! OP, I think the hardest part of this may be keeping the reason for the appointment a secret, and if you don't need to, don't.

If you can tell them it's only for a few weeks, my guess is they'll be fine with it. They may even be fine with it indefinitely. I WAH, and when my children were very small, I needed every minute of nanny time. As they got older, though,  and slept better, I got a lot more efficient in my work, to the point that one year we gave her more PTO in lieu a raise, because I could cover the days off without too much trouble.[/quote]

Op here
I felt like everyone was basically saying I’ll get fired for even trying to take time off. Every family is different. As I stated before, they can fire me if fhey want, but they wont. We have a good relationship but of course I realize this can be highly inconvenient for them. I love my charges amen my employers have been good to me as I have been to them. The relationship is reciprocal.

Also. As much as I like my employers, MB tends to meddle in my personal life soooo I know for a fact she’ll try to get me to say why I’m going. Which is why I posted in the first place. [/quote]

I think if you don't tell her, she's going to guess and keep bringing it up. Yes, it's a huge boundary transgression, but it's not illegal and there's no HR to complain to. You may have to decide if keeping the information private is worth it. I'd probably opt for a white lie about weekly therapy, either saying it's for physical therapy or just very short term counseling due to school and life transitions or something.[/quote]
