[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The MBs who are the most seemingly open and effusive are the biggest phonys.  Beware of the employers who pretend to be so loving and caring - they are lying.  Because you and the parents share a love for their child,  the parents can manipulate you into turning down better jobs or complaining about late returns and added nanny-tasks.  And they will fire you in an instant.

It is a job.  Love the child and do right by your charge - but [b]never believe that your employers love or even care about you.

Lessons learned the hard way[/b].[/quote]

But it's not the parents' fault that you thought they loved you.  You are one part of the employee/employer dynamic. That means you have SOME control over it.  You could have set the tone for a professional relationship.  [/quote]

True.  I should have had much stronger boundaries.  I am absolutely at fault for believing my employer when they said how much they loved me and how I would always be a part of their lives.  And in loving my charge so much.  I was sincere - my employers were not.  Believe me, lesson learned. [/quote]

I am sorry.  You got a really pathetic MB.  Let her phoniness, lying and manipulation be her problems.  Please don’t take this out on other employers. [/quote]
