Help- I need help explaining to the boys why our Nanny is not coming back.

Yesterday, she showed up at my house telling my she was bring her 3 *nephews* (11months, 3.5y and 7 y) to my house today. Mind you they are her friends kiddos not her family. I told her I would rather her not bring them.

Explaining to her how I cannot bring my kids to work and that her job is watch/ care for MY boys not her friends but it fell on totally deaf ears. Anyway 5 kids is WAY too many and I didn;t feel comfortable. Period.

My house, my babies, MY RULES.

Then she proceeds to tell me how she will not be here on Monday b/c her dad is fyling in from FLA. I reminded her of the week notice we both agreed on when she took the job last March. It's in your contract, just sayin.You signed it, again, just sayin.

She conceeded to having her brother pick him up at the airport. I left the house on good terms yesterday- or so I thought. She TEXTED me that if she couldn't have today and Monday off she was going to have to quit. I called her and said left me make it easy for you and told her her services were no longer needed and that she could pick up her last check/ drop off my house key today.

This was the straw that broke te Mamma's back. There is a laundry list of other things that we have spoken to her about numerous times.

 

Anyho, thanks fo sticking with me while I vent. My real Q is how do I tell the boys she's not coming back? Owen gets it- that she works for our family but Luke doesn't! I told him that she needs to stay home and that Nonie (my Mum) will be coming until we find someone WAY MORE FUN!

 

 

Oh and HAPPY FRIDAY!

    no advise really, just wanted to say sorry you even had to go through that.  do you think maybe since owen understands that maybe he could explain it to his little brother?? sometimes things are better from a "childs" point of view/explanation.

    Lil- you're spot on I think I will let Owen drive this conversation. Once Luke brings it up again we'll discuss with Oman's lead!
