Just that, really.
Bit stressed.

Why not just pay him off and send him away? Surely you can't really leave him with your children if he's verbally abusive?

to be honest boffinmum that is very generous of you if he has been verbally abusive to you in front of the kids.
if I had the readies I would be thinking about managing without him for those two weeks and just paying him off and giving him a swift boot out of the house.

It's a him, and I have, yes, but he is currently sulking in his room. I have sent him an email (so it's in writing), stating that he needs to work the hours originally agreed for the pay originally agreed, otherwise the agreement will be terminated immediately. This all came about because he started giving me big bills for overtime, including time he spends out of choice eating dinner with us and so on (!) I am a slave driver, apparently, making him work 13 hours a day including all these meal and nap breaks of his, and all his telly viewing time. He has been fairly verbally abusive to me in front of the kids about it all - waits until DH is out of the way to do this.

I'm sorry that you had to sack the AP. Are you making her work out her notice? Surely it would be better to offer to just pay her off in leiu. Does she have anywhere else to stay? It must be a horrible situation for everyone.
