nanny's priorities

[Anonymous]

Actually the word conversate is a word, conversated is also listed.

Only took a couple of "discussions" to realize that our previous nanny liked to play dumb about things or play dad off of mom, e.g. DB said I could miss Friday, when she or he did not.

Not a word!

Feeling angry about something that you had to drudge this post up and pretend a commonly used verb is not a word? Feel better soon!

Today she announced she wants to take a class Mondays until 9 or 9:30 so all the Mondays we have down for needing her full-day just won't work.

I told her that is not our agreement, it is a bad idea. She counted with well, she can miss 3 classes. I said this is a bad idea, you know our agreement and we already have more than 3 mondays of full day childcare this Fall. On and on.

This is the same nanny that orders us to be home by 5pm since she signed up for a new 5:30pm class or yoga. We again, say we cannot leave work early for this non-emergency stuff. Similarly we cannot get to work 90 minutes late Mondays we need a nanny.

So sick of this bad attitude.

I think I just got your nanny last month!

She just asked if she could have her former charge over soon on that boy's day off of school. Yet my kids are 3 and 5 years younger and are in school seven hours that day. Hmmmm.
