Now it can be told

We fired our nanny of 3.5 years. It was the right thing for Max and for our family. It feels so sad. I keep thinking about how she will have to go home to her two boys and share or hide from them that she does not have a job. We gave a large severance and will serve as a reference but I am so sad. I know in my intellectual compartment that this was the right thing, and hell, I know in my heart that what is right for Max it the first thing, always. She was graceful and sad. It was my husband's job to read the talking points I had written, I would have overcompensated.


Change is good. Change is hard.
