[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely not your business. Mind yourself and if that's not possible, look for a new job.[/quote]

Obviously it's not my business, I don't want it to be my business.  However, now I know, so it is my business as it interferes with my working life.[/quote]

MB tried to make her personal life your business. She crossed a line in confiding in you. It was unprofessional of her as an employer.

Does DB's behavior affect your direct interactions with the children? You say you don't see him often so I can't imagine that his behavior greatly affects you during your work hours. Your job is to take care of the children and sometimes that will mean trying to keep them from witnessing DB being as ass if it is happening during your work hours.

I've been there when working in a volatile situation between a former MB and DB. Their issues were none of my business despite what I witnessed at times. What was my business was keeping the child out of harms way when things flared up. Did I think the instigator of the situation needed serious psychological help? Yes, but it wasn't my place to do something about that. I did my job caring for the child and didn't take sides in the matter as it never directly affected me or my interactions with the child.

Only MB can change the situation she is in. It's not your place to punish DB for something he is doing to her (or the children). If you feel you must do something ask MB what you can do for the children at times you are working and DB is present and being an ass. Your only concern should be the children. Obviously you care about MB and don't like the situation she is in. That shows you are a caring person who just wants what's best for someone you care about. Unfortunately you are an employee and need to remember where your focus needs to be. You can be sympathetic to the situation MB is in, but do not get involved. Maintain your professional boundaries despite the fact that MB has already breached them. Good luck...it's a tough position to be in. [/quote]
