[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. A week ago she asked for $30/h. We discussed it again after that and again this week. She had 2 opportunities to accept. This was my last offer. I wasn’t going to sit around and let her manipulate us like were owe her a big raise. Now the 3rd time she wanted to think about it? Nope. Not in my book. And for those of you saying my 4 year old is going to pay, fortunately he’ll be fine. My housekeeper has been with us since before he was born so she is very familiar with him and so is he. She’s baby sat him before on days where the nanny couldn’t. He adores her as well. [/quote]

Yeah, mothers like you always say "he'll be fine".  And you're right - he is not going to die but it is not good for him either.    Someone who cared for him has disappeared and he cannot understand why.You should have calmed down and given the nanny of four years a chance to accept the final offer and save face.

Sometimes, as a parent, it is not about "our book" - it is about our kids' books.  [/quote]

They’re my children. I did what [i]I[/i] thought was best for them. If I had given her the raise I would not be happy with her and possibly would have let her go anyway. If she had accepted our raise, she might have been upset and quit anyway or her nannying abilities would have been compromised since she was also giving us a take it or leave it situation [/quote]
