My employer has to be the most moody person on earth! She goes through cycles of being kind and talkative and then smashes back into being sullen and giving me the silent treatment. Yesterday, she went back to her moody, sullen personality and didn't say hello or goodbye. She gave my charge a hug and let him tell her something and then went back into her room. Her husband relieved me.
Generally this crap goes on for a couple weeks. And I am so sick of it. I have been dealing with this woman's mood swings for three years. |

| Maybe she isn't feeling well or has a mental health issue. Find a new job instead of complaining about her. Do your job. |

Oh, PP, I do my job - my job is to take care of and teach my charge. My job is not to handle the insane moods of my one employer. She is a grown woman. I will complain about her all I like. And duh - yeah, she has mental health issues! |

| So sorry, OP. I am an MB but had a very, very moody and mercurial boss a few years ago. I felt like I was constantly afraid to step into the office because I never knew which of her personalities would be there. I loathe moodiness - it is so selfish and self-centered. Anyway, I stopped trying to be cheerful when she was in her sullen phase and just reflected her mood back to her. If she didn't say hello, I didn't say hello. When I needed to ask her a question or relay information to her, I did it exactly like she would do it. Honestly, that seemed to snap her out of it. |

| Is DB aware of this issue? She clearly has mental health issues. Just keeping being a good nanny, if it really bothers you I suggest looking for a new job. |

Yes, DB know and walks on egg shells around her and does whatever she says. Her parents are aware of it and have talked to me about it several times. I feel so sorry for her kids to have to grow up like this. I love my charge but every time she gets like this I do want to find another job. |

Have you talked to DB and her parents about her getting help? It might not be your place to say anything, but she probably needs a lot of help. Is she ok meds or ever been in meds? |

F off. This is a nanny forum and OP can complain as much as she wants. God, I really hate posters like you - you offer nothing. |

OP here. She sees a psychiatrist occasionally (her parents told me). And her parents have told me that they know how difficult she can be. I really don't feel comfortable asking more probing questions about possible medication or therapies nor do I know if she is or as have been on medication. I just hate it when she is like this. So rude and mean. |

Very well said PP! |

| SO sorry, OP. Another example of the nonsense nannies have to put up with. |

This MB is seeing a psychiatrist and clearly has mental health issues that she is getting addressed. I’d hardly call this “nonsense.” How very callous of you. |

You don't know that any of what you wrote is true. Lots of people see psychiatrists who are mean and nasty. She could just be a moody, spoiled b*tch. How totally naive of you to think that anyone who sees a psychiatrist is mentally ill! |

"Occasionally" seeing a psychiatrist is not actually getting it addressed - and it isn't working! You don't even know what she is seeing the occasional psychiatrist for!! But your sympathy goes to this rude woman and not to her child or her employee who has to deal with that moodiness and rudeness five days a week. Let me add that your post to the list of nonsense that nannies have to put up with. |

Does anyone working in any field want to face a moody and rude boss/employer everyday?
What is with these people defending the terrible behavior of OP's MB? |
