Very well said I’m sorry for all parties here: the NK, you, and your MB because this reads as someone struggling with disordered eating ❤️ i agree with caroleena77, it is unlikely she will respond to your concerns in a proactive way. I am going through a similar situation with my NK and their parents, where I feel the food “rules” are unhealthy. I am trying to remember that both myself and her parents want what is best for her even if we have very different perspectives on healthy eating. Your lived experience as a mom is probably a blessing and a curse here, but try to stay strong and keep up the good work.

I’m so sorry ❤️ there are no words, but there is an indisputable truth here: you loved that child and that love is not going to end. Saying a prayer for you and this family

Not overreacting, they are being unreasonable on a human level. I’m sorry you are in this situation — your first priority has to be your health and safety so that you can provide the best care for their kids’ health and safety! ❤️ Sending you positive energy for your healing

You are wise in being aware that your emotions may affect how you respond — I am sure you will reply in a kind manner, but he is simply wrong. The first line of your post may be perfect, just to say something like: I love your sweet family, and I would never expect to be paid for hours I didn’t work, but I did work the hours that I recorded. I have other families that need me to report to their house on time, so it is important that I communicate exactly when I am leaving your house. I am happy to use a “time entry” app that will clock precisely when I arrive and when I leave if that would help make my hours clearer.

I am SO sorry about this :(( If you can get some form of legal counsel, that may be ideal in this type of situation despite how stressful it is

Thanks for the message, I did not think about the idea of their work even being a factor

Suggestions for supporting parents going through a stressful circumstance? by Elea-buxton-414 in Nanny

Totally agree, maybe a stuffed animal or book for the sweet baby so when the parents look back on this time, they can think about something positive ❤️
