[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve had our nanny for about 18 months.  She’s been great up until recently.  She’s 35 weeks pregnant and wants to only work two more weeks for us.  We originally agreed she’d stay until she was to give birth.  Most first pregnancies go past 40 weeks so we were counting on her being with us through March.  She states the last minute change is because she’s not sleeping well and is in pain.  I call bluff.  I carried my twins till 39 weeks and worked a much more strenuous job until my induction.  I think she’s upset we decided to part ways and not have her return with baby.

We’re still debating on whether we are ok with this or not.  We’re thinking of instead cutting her hours at her 37 week mark to only part-time?   Of course if she goes into labor sooner we can’t really control when she’s gone but it would be ideal to keep her until at least the 1st of a April. [/quote]

Since you call bluff and carried your twins till 39 weeks I'm sure you can figure out how to take care of your own kids without help. Since you're so much better than everyone else this should not be a problem. Good luck keeping any help. Nobody will be ok with you. No debate needed. [/quote]
