[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you like to spend 3 days working overtime with your boss’s mother looking over your shoulder?

THIS.  If some old lady was hovering nearby while I'm working with spreadsheets - every once in a while jumping in to change a cell or suggesting I use a match instead of vlookup or trying to make small talk with me while I'm working - I'd be so pissed.   OP you are so clueless.  [b]You negotiated an agreement with the nanny and you changed the agreement -- in reality, you are the one who backed out [/b]on an agreed upon plan.  You need to see if you can salvage your relationship with your nanny - either by offering to pay for some of her time (maybe she can come babysit during the daytime while your mom is off doing another activity, or she can just come for bedtime or something) or by cancelling your mom's trip overall.

You backed out, OP. Not the nanny. If you accepted a job, and then just before your first day your boss told you that, by the way, you'd now be doing a different job and report to a different manager and actually that manager would be sitting at your desk with you 24/7 watching everything you do.... what would you do? I guarantee you'd write and say sorry but that's not going to work for me. But then would you seriously feel that YOU "backed out" of the job?? Or would you be annoyed that they wasted your time?[/quote]
