There was a paper on the table with notes comparing houses as well as many other real estate papers all over the house.

I walked in on a conversation between my MB and DB about the housing market in San Diego. We live in the Midwest. I think the look on my face said it all. They quickly and apologetically assured me they were discussing friends of theirs.
It would be odd for them to move.
My point is, ask. It is your job and you need to know if there are possible changes coming. It is not unreasonable to bring it up in a tactful way.

OP, why would it look bad to say, "I saw some real estate papers on the table last week - are you guys house hunting?"? I said basically that to my MB and it was completely fine.

It is none of your business until they make it your business and let you in on whatever it is they are doing.
OP here: I'm going to have to disagree with you.

OP here: To be honest, they are very untidy. It is not unusual for them to have papers scattered in the house.

OP. wait until they tell you they are moving. Right now, you don't know if they're moving, much less where. It could be two months, six months, a year away.
Once they tell you, start your job search. Simple.

Oh, I didn't realize that if I left something out the only reason would be because I wanted my nanny to see it. Get real. If they are a busy family they probably left the stuff out because they don't want to lose track of it or didn't have time to put it away. I left a school application out, in fact, last night. I cetrainly don't expect my nanny to ask my kids today how they feel about switching schools.
You're the same flake from the other threads.
They left out the papers in three different places. Duh.
You seem to have a chronic condition of denial, which isn't allowing you to be rational.

I know they're not going to me dump me next time. If they end up moving, it probably won't be before at least two months. But if I know that they are looking for houses for sure and we have discussed it, I will start looking for a new job now. There's no point in waiting if they are moving anyways.
If I ask them casually if they are buying a new house, won't it look bad?

No. Why?
From what you've shared here, OP, I think you're on the right track. Just like I tell moms, always follow your gut. They might not know how or when to start the discussion. Moms aren't nessasarily that great with communication, even with their own husbands.
I think you have two options here.
1. Just get another job. They might be relieved.
2. Bring it up, and ask. Say, "Are you looking at houses?"
You need to protect yourself, OP, even if others here don't want you to.
18:10, maybe you missed question #2?
OP should determine for herself which option she's more comfortable with, don't you think? If the parents aren't terribly trustworthy overall, I would absolutely not bother having a conversation with them. What's the point?
