My nanny just quit

I am sooo upset. I really did love our nanny and she just quit. I am happy for her - she just got a full time job working at an adult mental health institute. She was only working 13 hours a week here. I understand and am happy for her but I just burst into tears when she told me.

My kids love her and it is soo hard to find someone new and the introduction period just takes so long.

Not what I want to deal with right now.

Also, I was so upset when I called DH and told him that we got into a huge fight. I guess I was really upset and was sort of yelling at him about it because he did not say the right thing and he got all mad and told me not to take it out on him. To which I replied that it is not about him at all and that I was obviously upset and so what if I yelled at him - get over it.

Happy Monday!

I know how hard this is. Just sending along hugs and good thoughts.

Does your old nanny have any friends she can recommend?

 

Oh that sucks. Hang in there. You will find a new great nanny, but I would be just as upset as you if our nanny quit and I had to find someone new. Not at all what you need to deal with on top of Jack not napping. Urgh.

 

[SIZE=18pt]BIG BUMMER!!!![/SIZE] :hug: I am really sorry to hear about ALL of it!! I'm sure that Dh isn't nearly as affected by it and can't understand what the big deal is, but he needs to be sympathetic!! :angry:

I hope you find Mary Poppins! :grouphug:

 

:hug: So sorry! Since you are the one working from home, your DH needs to be particularly sympathetic to the extent to which YOU have to deal with this. Sorry to hear he's not on the same page as you-- hope he gets there soon! Best of luck finding a great nanny. I know how hard that can be (we have one 8 hours/ week for me to go to school).

 

ugh, that's horrible! Did she at least give you 2 weeks notice? This happened to us last year, no notice really, but she had at least a 1/2 dozen friends willing to take her place. Thankfully it didn't take long to find someone new, but the breaking in period can be tough. Maybe she knows someone who will take her place?

Sorry to hear about the fight, these things can be stressful. I hope you're able to find someone soon.

 

Oh, I'm so sorry! It must be really hard losing someone you like and trust so much with the kids. I'd be upset too.

I hope you can find someone else you'll develop that good a relationship with. :hug:

 

Ugh! :hug: That really stinks! I just went through the whole process of finding a pt nanny this past month and she started last week. I can completely empathize with the process being complicated and draining and we're still in the getting to know you stages.

Good luck! I hope you are able to find someone without too much hassle. Working from home has its own set of complications and my DH doesn't understand either.
