I am so sorry, OP. I honestly cannot believe that anyone who trusted their children with another person would not sit down with them and tell them in person. Totally crappy thing to do to you.

I would break my heart if our nanny ever quit in a text and didn't even give my child a change to say goodbye.

Yes, MB should have handled this better. At least by phone, but she could have been in shock herself.

Regarding a puppy -- this could have been prearranged. My dear friend was let go a week before a lavish birthday party he was throwing his kid. Well, the party was already booked and paid for, so we all just enjoyed it. Life sometimes is not all that is planned. The puppy could have been paid or contracted for weeks ago.

Seriously, what an asshole thing to do in a text. All the MBs on this forum would be crying and screaming if a nanny quit in a text and never said goodbye to the kids.

No they wouldn't, some yes, some no. Reality is your employment is tied to your employer. If your employer's employment or income changes, you are also at risk for losing your job.

That is why when you have to leav e don't give any notice just say you have family emergency !!
