[quote=Anonymous]I'm in a situation that is similar, I asked for a dollar raise (3children, baby included) and five paid sick days.  It was a Friday after two weeks of lice (me dealing with the brunt) they looked at me like I had two heads, and told me they would get back to me.  They then offered fifty cents and no sick days, I told them I was hoping they would reconsider and financially I am struggling.  After another week they agreed to the dollar, but still no sick days.  It's been three years with this family and I've never felt so unsure about a family.  I started looking, knowing I could find what I wanted somewhere else, I did, but know I am very worried about giving notice.  I don't know how they will react, I almost expect an emotional " If you don't like it here, get out, now!". Which would be fine, except I have a vacation and pay that I've worked very hard for and feeling it's not fair to give it up just so they can have a longer time to find a replacement.  So I'm considering giving them four weeks notice at time I can afford to be unemployed until new job starts.  I know I'lll still come off to them as abandoning their family and inconveniently quitting after my vacation, but there really isn't any easy way to do this.  They are already angry about giving me a raise, feeling I have them over a barrel, but it's truly about job happiness and security for me and I just don't know where I stand with this family.  Anyway, due to the circumstances it seems I will be facing a similar cold front in my work place (which it is already chilly), OP any words of wisdom?[/quote]
