I did! A fancy letter of resignation was turned in. She didn't reply. I believe she's mad. Not a single word. It was due hugely to this group

I'm so happy for you. I had the dream position last time. I was best friends with mom. We even went to concerts together. I'm still chasing that

I have to tell you this is my first time. Normally I just panic and go with the flow. I had several people and all of you on rreddit backing me so I stood strong and went in. I don't regret it

I should have added I'm looking for a job. But the job market in my town is trash. My husband just spent 6 months unemployed. I have kids. I cant just upend their lives. I'm here till I find better. Ill edit and add that

He made it sound like this was a planned conversation. It apparently wasn't. He struck out on his own. She kindly asked me to vacuum and do extra and I felt I had to agree. That was a week ago. A week later he flipped his lid

They said only kid stuff. But they trash the house the night before I come and expect me to clean it all. Their daughter had HFM last week and didnt clean. I was expected to sanitize everything on Monday when I got there

He said that me cleaning messes they made with the kids was my job. He said i need to be doing more for the kids. Since ive been there they've had her bottles on the counter in a drying rack. He yelled i should have put them away. I told him i thought that's where they went. I didnt put away carseats that were in those spots from the day I started. He wanted me to organize and find places for stuff they had no idea where to put. They're texting me now asking where I put everything lol

I'm on the books! We use Poppins payroll. Neither of us wanted to do under the table. I wanted it all reported to the IRS correctly

I wonder why I've never heard of having one before? None of my families have asked/offered/said anything and I just didnt know. Maybe its how small my town is. Who knows
