I would sit down with her again and try to come to a compromise or try to find someone else. I'm so sorry you have to go through all this. This is one of my biggest worries when I have kids-- the daycare piece.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02934698044637715137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25630313.post-45673923927169295842008-02-21T19:25:00.000-05:002008-02-21T19:25:00.000-05:00:( I'm sorry it's so hard.

I've always felt really comfortable with Hayden's care here at work, but now that she's going to start kindergarten in the fall, I'm seriously worried.Ediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13446067323901501183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25630313.post-88177772670889839642008-02-21T14:37:00.000-05:002008-02-21T14:37:00.000-05:00Stick to your guns, it sounds like she's trying to...Stick to your guns, it sounds like she's trying to take advantage of you guys.Rachel (Crazy-Is)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05786360241354496729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25630313.post-28352879368180692382008-02-21T14:24:00.000-05:002008-02-21T14:24:00.000-05:00I agree that the day to day stuff is a walk in the...I agree that the day to day stuff is a walk in the park. It's the worry and the fear that KILLS me!<BR/><BR/>$100 more per week?! Clearly she didn't pay attention when you discussed rates the first time.

Regarding the nanny: I'd bring out the bartering guns. If she's asking for more than she's getting now, she probably isn't truly expecting it. Plus, she's already quoted you a rate, apparently. Someone's talked her into going for more. Offer an extra $50 per week instead of $100 and no paid vacation until after the first year. I can barter with someone until I flat wear them out, which isn't a good thing and my husband tries to reel me in. GOOD LUCK! I know this is stressful for you and your sweet family.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786838392389718536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25630313.post-56711126887127836772008-02-21T12:23:00.000-05:002008-02-21T12:23:00.000-05:00How dare that nanny change the price on you, and w...How dare that nanny change the price on you, and wanting a paid vacation too? Uh not!!! <BR/>I hope soon you will find someone that will ease your worries. I know your children are top priority and hey that's only right. <BR/>Good luck and in the meantime other than sitting Indian style and the hard mats, seems like the kids have adapted to day care better than mom, huh?Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06819119483235469483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25630313.post-22018204851086610162008-02-21T12:13:00.000-05:002008-02-21T12:13:00.000-05:00Oh that sucks.

Part of being self-employed is paying attention to the details like how long the days will be when you quote someone a price. <BR/>Hope everything works out.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997543920064871108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25630313.post-64697470068067738592008-02-21T09:44:00.000-05:002008-02-21T09:44:00.000-05:00I am so sorry this is so hard right now.
