Entitled Parents Demand $1000 from Nanny for Vacation Plane Tickets – The Lesson They Learned Was Harsh
### Jane’s Dilemma
Jane’s employers planned a luxurious holiday and brought her along to look after their children, promising to cover all expenses. However, after returning, they demanded she pay $1000 for her plane tickets. Jane decided to fight back.
“Jane, come to the living room,” Mrs. Smith called, stirring her tea. I was cleaning the playroom but hurried over.
“Sure, Mrs. Smith. What’s up?” I asked.
“We need to discuss the vacation. When will you repay the $1000 for the plane tickets?” she said.
I was stunned. “But you said everything was covered.”
Mrs. Smith’s tone turned cold. “That was before a business deal fell through. You have one week to return the money, or it will be taken from your pay.”
Unable to afford the repayment, I devised a plan. The Smiths valued their social standing, so I created a fake email account and detailed my mistreatment, sending it to their social circle.
Soon, gossip spread, damaging their reputation. Mrs. Smith was distraught and called a masseuse for stress relief. Meanwhile, I overheard nannies talking about Mrs. Smith’s habit of borrowing and not returning items.
At Mrs. Smith’s next luncheon, I hinted about her borrowing habits to her friends, fueling more rumors. The next day, friends started demanding their items back, humiliating her.
During dinner, Mr. Smith confronted me about the email. I denied involvement but was fired regardless. I moved back home, unsure of my next steps.
A week later, Mrs. Johnson, a family friend, invited me over and offered me a better job, citing my excellent care for her kids during the holiday.
I gratefully accepted, relieved to escape the Smiths.
