OP of the post. I'm not entitled or feel my employers are indebted to me. I know things come up and we never know when it's going to end. I'm not upset at my employers for doing whats best for them. I'm upset at the situation and predicament I'm left in. I had to drop all my classes and will have to put off school, once again. I just canceled my lease and will be moving back in with my aunt until I find another situation. I know I've been with them going on four months but it did come as a complete shock. MB and I had many discussions and she talked about never leaving DC and how all their family is here and so forth. We had a meeting at the 3 month mark and they both agreed it would be long-term and for to get my own place. Now a month later I am out of a job, school is put off, and I'm back to my aunts. I'm just upset over the situation, not at them. They really are great people and I know they wouldn't screw me over intentionally. Everything happens for a reason.

of a better job opp.or not.I worked for a family who bought their second house 2 years ago, now they
are buying their 3rd house in the same neighborhood. Good for them it's none of my business.

I wasn't saying it was any of my business. My bosses offered that up. I was trying to tell pp that I am no upset and the situation is different from hers. I am more than happy for my them and wish them all the best.

Then a couple weeks ago they decided to move 3 hrs away...a week after telling me they were definitely wanting me to help find a nanny share for the days we didn't already have one lined up. On one hand I want them to be happy but on the other I'm really annoyed about it. They're not moving for work, they're just moving to move. They don't even have jobs lined up yet. They're buying a bigger house (they told me they're not saving enough money so they wanted to move someplace with a lower COL) but I'm from that area and my parents and friends live there so I know for a fact it's not lower COL, plus they're buying a more expensive house. So I'm going through the annoyed phase right now.

OP here. It's not exactly the same. We both wanted a long-term arrangement but this job offer was out of the blue and abrupt. It allows DB now works 60-90/hr weeks and this job will allow more time with MB and my charge ( and possible siblings). I understand why he jumped at it. They aren't leaving just to leave. I know a lot of decision went into this and they weighed it all out. I'm not annoyed and there are no hard feelings. It's just a sucky but happy situation. MB and DB are wonderful people, employers, and parents. I'm happy for them and I think the overall situation of less stress, hours, etc., will be great for them. It's just too bad it had to come to an end so soon instead of years down the road. I know that they love me and wish they could keep me but unfortunately I can't make that type of move happen. I know we will keep in touch and its not the last I will see of my charge.

ok fine it isn't the EXACT same thing. I was trying to commiserate with you and let you know you're not the only one surprised by a loved employer moving unexpectedly. Jeez.

Pp I wasn't trying to rude and that you couldn't be sympathetic. I was only pointing out it was different because I wasn't annoyed and they aren't moving just to move.

Oh, OP I am so sorry! I am the nanny for a baby (8 months) and it is amazing how bonded I have become with him. I can only imagine how hard this is for you. Hugs.

5 months but it will be 6 months at the end. I don't see your point in stating that? Amount of time doesn't mean anything.

OP, ignore her. Just about all her posts are bitchy.

Did they give you a reference letter yet?

No. I literally just found out after work. DB and MB will took to their word and help me out with a letter and anything else needed. I will get that next week.
