Found out MB has been lying to me.

This isn't what you said in your first post, OP. you said the you never minded staying late for work or personal things and that you said you'd tell them when you couldn't stay late. Also, that you didn't mind the extra hours. It looks like you are as dishonest as you claim your MB to be. I think the only mistake your MB made was to give you any explanation at all for where she was. As long as she could be reached by mobile phone in case of emergency, she doesn't owe you anything by way of reason. If she asks you stay late, and you want the hours, she pays you, and you accept, that's the end of it. It's a simple transaction. If you don't want to stay, say no. She'll find another sitter. She'll have to. No big deal. |

| If she lies about something so trivial then she will have no qualms about lying about anything. She is a liar and you cannot believe anything she says. I would start looking for a new job and when I quit, I would tell her why. |

It would bother me too if my MB lied to me about something so trivial as this, but I wouldn't bring it up to her because it would just cause a rift between you both and may affect your working relationship.
Not to excuse her lying, but she is probably doing so because she doesn't want you to think she is a bad mother for being away from her children so much socially, etc. She probably is just embarrassed. |

I had a lying boss like that at one point. My time is important to me, because after I've taken care of your child for 11 hours a day, I've got to go home and care for my OWN children. I was supposed to get off at 5:00, she would wait until 5 to text me she's still working or she's stuck in traffic which would make me have to pay extra money at my kids aftercare. Come to find out she was going to happy hour, shopping and getting pedicures. She felt as though she pays me to watch her kids so I should watch her kids regardless. When I brought this up she 'apologized' and went in Craigslist posting an ad for my job so she could fire me without notice or cause as soon as she got a replacement. Well the joke was on her when I didn't show up for work when her kids got out of school and she had to scramble and leave work to go get them

| Ok PP, but OP said she didn't mind staying late. Presumably she's not rushing to pick up her own kids like you are. |

Her attitude is awful but you left those poor kids by themselves at school? That is horrendous. No matter the situation, I would never take that out on my charges and risk their safety. I would hate for my charges to sit there feeling like no one is going to be there to get them. No child should ever have to think no one is there for them. It breaks my heart because I see that all the time. |

| So it's acceptable for my children to feel abandoned while she lies and shops and attend happy hours instead of coming home to parent HER children, but it's so horrible for her kids to feel the exact same thing? What goes around comes around, you treat me like shit I can do the same to you. Then you try to be funny and try to replace me so you can be able enjoy yourself instead of coming home to your children. BTW she had no plans on offering any severance, just pretty much firing me without cause a week before Christmas because I found out she wasn't working or stuck in traffic. But yeah ok, am I evil no, I am a person with feelings and other commitments besides your children and was deceived. In my opinion she's the bitch that got what she deserved |

I am a PP that took the side of OP. i think the important part of her OP is not what her MB was doing, its that her MB chose to make it hers by giving her a reason and it was in fact a lie. But as far as your situation, you are responsible for your actions, and you are the one here discussing this. If your MB were here posting, I'm sure some people would tell her about herself, but she's not here. You are. And what you did was terrible. Those children did nothing to you deserving for you to abandon them. Do you know how scary and heartbreaking that is as a child to feel like everyone forgot about you? And you did it to punish your boss. You are a sorry excuse for a nanny, and it is no wonder you ended up with a similarly shitty MB. THAT is how what goes around comes around works. You put out nasty energy into the world and you get it right back. |

| Lol, ok pp... She was a bitch and should have thought about it before she tried to cute. Those are HER kids not mine at the end of the day it's a JOB, a paycheck nothing more. Do what's right and I'll do what's right. I'm not wasting my time and gas and energy to pick up your beloved children knowing your allready looking for a replacement so you can do what you want after work instead of coming to care for your kids. You didn't keep the commitment that we had so neither can I. You are just as shitty as she is to keep thinking of her kids but not mine. My kids were scared, frightened and felt abandoned time after time while she ran the streets instead of coming home so I could leave. But, that's acceptable right pp? Lol go get a life and stop trying to defend someone that got what they deserved |

| It's very possible that there is some cross-over between their personal and professional lives. It's not that unusual for me to be at an event that is both about socializing with friends and networking. |
