Why did I choose this?

Why did I become a nanny? I thought it would be so wonderful to be with Noah, see him grow and do the many achievements he's done. Now I totally regret it. Now don't get me wrong ... I LOVE LOVE LOVE being with Noah and being with him everyday but I cannot stand this family I nanny for. They are so inconsistent I can't stand it. In the beginning it was all hunky dory and now, I am always in trouble for things that aren't even my fault. Like last week the mom told me to tell her 12 year old daughter she couldn't have boys a lone in her room. I went upstairs and told the boys they couldn't be in her room and they all went outside (the daughter was playing out there). You'd think ... hmmm they are going to play with thier friend. Nope they decided to leave and say that I kicked them out! NOT TRUE! Then the mom yelled at me saying I was rude to them, and I didn't know how to handle kids. What the ....!!!! I was doing what I was told by the mother!

I am sick of doing everything for them and not getting what I deserve. I clean their homes, run their errands, take care of their kids, make them breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner and it's like ... whatever Melissa, this is just expected now. I've been trying to find something else for a while but it doesn't look too good. I shouldn't have went p/t at my billing job ... I just wanted to be around for when Noah took his first everything (steps! He took his first steps last Tuesday ... it was sooo soooo cute!) I just don't know what to do ... and I am fed up. ugh. I just want to go up to these disrespectful people and tell them how horrible they are as people. How they need to live up to thier word. I am not the MAID, or the PERSONAL ASSISTANT or the BANK. I am just the nanny and that is what I am supposed to be paid for. I shouldn't have to give your kids money to do what they want. You should supply me with money if you want them to get/do stuff. I could really go on and on and on on how horrible these people are.

I wish I could have made a better choice ... now I feel like I am stuck with this until we move.
