Does This Look Like A Live-in Nanny Who Was Fired But Refuses To Leave The People's House?
UPLAND, Calif. (KABC) – They were the all-American family looking for help with their three young children. Upland couple Marcella and Ralph Bracamonte posted an ad on Craigslist seeking a nanny in exchange for room and board. Instead, they got Diane Stretton, who at first pretended to be their nanny, but is now squatting in their home. The couple said they called Stretton’s references and checked her background. “We hired this person that was somebody we thought we could truly trust and allowed our kids to be with her,” Ralph Bracamonte said. After a couple of weeks, Stretton started staying in her room. “She wasn’t performing what we had asked her to do, and we ended up trying to give her chance after chance,” Ralph Bracamonte said. Finally, Marcella Bracamonte wrote her a “Last Chance Letter,” spelling out her expectations. Instead of agreeing to the conditions or moving out, Stretton countered with her own agreement, issuing her own demands and threatening to sue the Bracamontes for Americans with Disabilities Act violations, elderly abuse and wrongful termination. The Bracamontes say they called the police, but need a court order to remove Stratten from their home.
Hey old lady, what the hell are you doing? Get the fuck outta these people’s house already. This isn’t how the real world works. Their house is not a soup kitchen or a homeless shelter or a retirement community. You can’t simply decide that you want to stick around and make this family’s life a living nightmare. A young family with their whole life ahead of them lives in that house and you’re really being a buzz kill here. Do what normal weirdos do and go find a bridge to live under or a dumpster to sleep in. That’s your life now. I’m sorry you didn’t make better choices in life and you thought your only option was to start squatting at this home. But they fired you. They no longer want you in their house or around their kids. It sounds like you were good at your job at first but then just started laying around and only getting up when you were hungry. Listen, in a way I totally understand where this old bag is coming from. If that was a viable way of going through life, I’d be doing the exact same thing. Laying around and only moving when I’m hungry is my favorite thing to do. It’s what I do all weekend every weekend. But that’s only on the weekend. Once Monday rolls around I have to be a normal human being just like everybody else and so do you. It sucks but it’s true.
