When The Nanny Becomes A Problem Instead Of A Godsend

When The Nanny Becomes A Problem Instead Of A Godsend When The Nanny Becomes A Problem Instead Of A Godsend With high-profile jobs in demanding professions, Melissa and Jason were accustomed to long hours and frequent travel. Early in their marriage, it wasn?t a problem?in fact, they thrived on it! But when they decided to start a family, it was difficult to balance professional and domestic demands. Hiring a live-in nanny proved to be the best, most stable option for child care. It took a while to find a good fit, but when they hired Kayla, things seemed to go really well. She took expert care of the children, anticipating their needs and rejoicing in their accomplishments. She proved steady and reliable when schedules changed on short notice, and she was able to travel with the family whenever the need arose. Having Kayla as part of the household truly improved all their lives, or so Melissa thought until discovering, when she returned home from a business trip cut short, that Kayla was (ahem) ?improving? Jason?s life in shocking and completely inappropriate ways! Melissa was completely floored. Her husband was cheating on her with the nanny, and she never felt more deeply betrayed?or more like a sorry cliché?in her life. Sadly, Melissa?s situation is not all that rare. You don?t have to scan the newsstands for long before catching headlines about celebrities rumored to have cheated with the nanny. And, while it may not be especially shocking to see a Hollywood marriage fall victim to the nanny factor, you should know that it definitely happens in ?real life? as well. Sometimes, the nanny gets fired and everybody moves on. Other times, the affair is the last straw in a failing marriage, and divorce attorneys are contacted. If this has happened to you, what can you do?
