| LIt's the final week of school and the kids have 1/2 days. I told MB that I can come in early to get the kids off the bus and she said she would be home to get them. But this morning the bus driver texted my phone saying she was at the home to drop off the kids and I told her MB should be there and I had to rush and get dressed, call an uber (because my car broke down) and rush into work. The bus driver had to sit and wait til I got there and MB's neighbor even came over to get the children for me, but she was not authorized. Resulting in the bus driver to be upset me me. Also causing MB to be upset with me when she told me I didn't have to come in early during the week because she will be home. |

| Unless there is more to this story, MB fucked up. Why does she say she's upset? |

| Why on earth would your MB be upset with you? From what I understand, she said that she would be at home when the kids arrived. She wasn't and therefore the fault is on her. If she was running late, she should have let you know well in advance. |

OP Here, MB tends to blame others for her own mess ups at times, and acts as if it's the other persons fault. Even after yesterday's conversation, I told her I'm willing to come in early in case she will not be home, she rejected my offer and then this became the outcome. |

Op here, I agree. I called her phone and it went straight to VM, when I later talked to her she stated she was out running errands, and getting her new phone situated and did not realize the time. SMH |

| So you are meant to be a mindreader and know that she was running late and needed you to come to the house? She sounds like a nutcase quite frankly. |

Make her admit out loud that she told you not to come in. Seriously, continue asking her until she says it out loud.
People like that bug the hell out of me. |

Is she for real? She should be damn well grateful that you went to the effort of getting there so quickly seeing as she couldn't get her act together and stick to the original plan.
OP, please find another job. I find your MB intolerable and I don't even know her. You sound like a conscientious nanny and deserve tons better. |

Your MB put you in a tough position and she should be thanking you for saving the day.
Instead she is annoyed + upset w/you...??!! She is not playing w/a full deck of cards here. She refuses to be accountable for ANYTHING!! I cannot stand working or even associating w/folks like her. I would give notice and look for a new job if you can. You are totally unappreciated here which is so sad + unfair.

I totally agree with this poster from 22:00. The MB should be thanking you for saving the day. |

| should not be your responsibility to show up to work, unannounced, in the middle of the day when she has said she is available. mix ups happen and everyone gets upset, but if she doesn't apologize to you then that's a red flag that you're going to be blamed for a lot of things that you couldn't predict-she forgot to clue you in that camp was getting out early, the project that parents are clued into via email hasn't been started and is due tomorrow...etc. you could quit, or you could tell her "i would never want to leave the kids hanging, or leave you in the lurch. what steps do you think we could take to prevent this from happening again? in the past, google cal (or x) have worked well for me to keep these crazy schedules straight." |
