[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She getting paid 3 extra weeks to do nothing. That's a bonus in itself. Also, she hasn't been with you a year so you don't NEEd to give a week's salary.[/quote]

The nanny has only been with OP's family for 5 months and is getting 3 weeks extra of vacation plus OP is going to get her a gift. Sure, it's after the holidays but OP has two babies, works, and is in the middle of the holiday season. Cut her some slack!  [/quote]

She's only getting her a gift because she feels guilty that nanny bought gifts for her kids. Everyone LOVES getting obligatory afterthought gifts right?? If OP was giving the time off as a true gift that'd be great. She's only giving her the time off because she doesn't need it. You all really don't understand gift giving. Its about showing your appreciation and how much you care about the person receiving your gift. OP has said loud and clear "We don't care!". Her nanny might be there when she gets back, but I'm sure OPs behavior is indicative of a larger problem, selfishness, and this employment relationship is doomed. [/quote]

Damn, you are entitled af. 5 weeks if paid time off is great, even if the nanny wasn't expecting it so stfu.[/quote]

Are you 12? Intelligent adults can put together a coherent sentence without abbreviating every other word and resorting to crass language. When you grow up and figure that out, perhaps someone will take you seriously.

No where did I say I wouldn't appreciate 5 weeks off. What I said is that the manner in which OP gave it is not in the spirit of gift giving. For some people the spirit behind a gift doesn't matter, and if that's you, this would be perfect. I and many others prefer gifts that show the giver actually put some thought into what I would like and made it happen. The monetary value isn't whats important. I appreciate when my husband makes my favorite meal on Christmas morning for me far more than if he tossed his credit card at me and said to get myself something nice. Its the thought that counts, right? OP didn't "give" her nanny anything. OP gave herself a vacation, and the nanny having time off was simply a side effect. I would appreciate the time off, but I wouldn't view it as some grand gesture of appreciation. [/quote]

People seem to be having a hard time grasping the concept that this amazing "5 weeks off" is just a byproduct of the MB going on vacation.  She is not giving her nanny 5 weeks to use at her discretion...huge difference. You don't get to call your self generous (or your nanny entitled) because you are taking a trip. [/quote]
