We did not take our nanny on a trip for a close friend's wedding. As a live-in, she stayed home. much like she had previously. We paid her her full weekly salary.
My sister in lawn, unbeknownst to me, had contacted the nanny in our absence and asked her to fill in for their nanny for three days. My nanny did. No incidents.
I made a joke about how profitable our vacation was to the nanny. The nanny looked uncomfortable. I said, "I'm sorry. You know I don't care...I was just..".
The nanny said, "They didn't pay me at all"
I was shocked. I further confirmed that not only did they not pay her at all, but his sister had asked my husband if it was okay to call her to babysit and my husband okayed it and tongue in cheek made some not cool comment about her already being paid and ready to babysit.
I told my husband that he is going to tell his sister he owes the nanny for three days. He is resistant to this idea and doesn't get how we wouldn't do his sister a solid by having our nanny just fill in for her, since she was paid anyway. I'm sorry that this is the mentality I am working with. His cheap sister is seconding it. Meanwhile I am pissed off for the nanny and for the whole mess. I want them to pay her in full for her time, without any reference to whether or not she was already being paid by us. What does it matter?
I'm seeing red. My husband doesn't see the problem.
