[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my teen babysitter texted me that there had been been “an accident” where her mother couldn’t pick her up, my first thought would be a car accident and to ask if she/mother were okay - not think about how it would affect me.

How did she purposely mislead you? She said there was an accident and there was an accident. She stated a fact. I cannot believe you were bitchy to her over it! I hope she never works for you again. [/quote]

I feel like I was misled and set up to look bitchy because I took her to mean “there has been an accident....And as a result my mom is stuck in traffic” not that she was in the accident. [/quote]

Effectively, though, what is the difference? If her mother is caught in traffic because an accident happens right in front of her vs her mother is in the accident? I mean, no one knows an accident will happen, so either way she is late and it is unintentional. She communicated to you ahead of time instead of just leaving you wondering when she wasn't on time (which is really responsible for a teen in that situation fwiw). So yeah, you look bitchy because you were being bitchy. She didn't set you up, you did that yourself. These are stressful times, apologize and move on.[/quote]
