[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you made the right decision, OP.[/quote]

I think OP made the right decision to stand her ground but not in firing the nanny without giving her a chance to come around over the weekend.  And not for the nanny's sake - but for the older kid's sake.  [/quote]

The nanny looked through her tax papers and then demanded a raise because, in her opinion, they have extra money. Who knows what she's saying about the parents to the child, especially once they denied the raise.

And she was given a lot of time to think about it. What did she think it meant when she said $27.50 wasn't acceptable? This is why you don't give ultimatums you aren't willing to follow through on.

I agree with everything you have have posted.  But still would have given the nanny the weekend to rethink her ultimatum.

Maybe it is different for OP but my children are very connected to their nanny and love her.  I would soften my final decision for their sake and let the nanny come back.  [/quote]
Hell no! No matter how long I had employed my nanny, I would never be able to get past this. For lack of a better, less dramatic word, it’s a betrayal. It would just destroy my opinion of her and I wouldn’t be able to look at her or act the same. Op definitely did the right thing and I’m sure that woman has learned her lesson. What an ass.

It’ll be confusing for the child at first, but hopefully having a familiar face around to look after him will help with that and any possible sadness he may feel. Unfortunately, that’s just the way it is. I wouldn’t want a shady, manipulative person like that caring for my child. Nuh-uh, no thanks. [/quote]

The nanny, according to OP, had been wonderful for four years and they loved her.

Just me, but I would have given her a second chance for the sake of my child.  [/quote]
