[quote=Anonymous]MB here - I totally get your feelings OP and I don't agree with other posters who are advocating a "so what" kind of attitude.  You seem reasonable and of course you're not going to go stirring up trouble but I just wanted to validate that many people would feel betrayed or blindsided as you do.  This is one of the issues with a share (and I say this as someone with multiple kids who has done both individual nannies and shares).  We had a similar share partner for awhile and although they weren't bad people per se they were clearly very selfish and several times they put us and/or our nanny in an awkward situation.  We were always very transparent with them about our plans and any upcoming possible changes but one day they rather abruptly ended the share because their daughter had gotten into daycare.  Totally understandable on one hand to pursue a different option, but we and our nanny wondered why they hadn't at least told us it might be a possibility since clearly they had been on the waiting list for some time.  It left us in a bad spot scrambling to cover our nanny's wages and left her feeling really insecure that her income might suddenly drop.  Anyway, I'm saying all of this to say that just like in life some people are more comfortable being open and taking the risk while others want to act more secretive and try to line everything up in their interest.  Sounds like your partners were the latter and sometimes there's no way to know until it's too late.  Sorry this happened to you and hopefully the next time around you'll have better luck![/quote]
