To be shaking?

[PiedPiper558]

We have had our nanny for a month. She waited a good few weeks to start as things were up in the air with us.
She has been very accommodating, kids love her and been flexible. However, now the eldest has got into another school and it makes more sense to put her in the breakfast club. If the other kids get into the same school, we will do the same and put them into the club. DP told the kids this with nanny present this morning. Apparently she pulled him to one side, told him how wrong it was that he effectively told her she was on borrowed time with this job and that he had dealt with this insensitively and then stormed out. She's meant to be back this afternoon. She knows we are speaking tomorrow so must have known this was coming. What am I meant to do now? I feel really shaken up.

Atrocious behaviour on your DPs part, and I have no idea why you would be shaking

She has accommodated your messing around and you do this to her

If it was me I would be handing my notice in and finding better employers, and putting the word out in the nanny networks

Poor nanny

Been there a month and dad talking about not using her services in the future

Finding an after school nanny who works full time in holidays is hard

With 3 kids a nanny is more financial sense then paying 3 x before school fees

I mean...99% of 982 people think you’re being unreasonable...that is a pretty good indicator. You’ve basically screwed this poor nanny over, she’s been understanding and flexible for your family in order to keep you happy and you’ve showed her zero respect. Nannies have lives and bills to pay, she’s waited for you and now you’re cutting her hours. I hope you’re shaking with embarrassment. I hope you can be a decent enough human to give them redundancy pay if she can’t accept the new job position you’re offering due to too few hours.

"Any chance of an update?"
Nah, she's still shaking too much.

I think this may be your 2nd post in this OP. I’d be fuming if I were her, you’ve treated her appallingly. Personally I’d be taking you to court for loss of earnings. How could you be so selfish and cruel?

We REALLY need a good nanny and she sounds fab

Can you send her my way please?

YABU, you and your husband both handled this very insensitively and I don't blame her for storming out. TBH, I am simply shocked she is returning after that revelation!

Was you crying and shaking, or just shaking, OP?
