[quote=Anonymous]So I work in a team of nannies to care fore 3 children, working daily with another full time nanny who is a good friend of mine. We work 24 hour shifts. The parents are going through a divorce and we work primarily at mom's house, but dad is the one who pays us. We do have regular contact with dad as he drives the children to school regularly and we go here every Thursday for dinner.

Last Thursday was my birthday. Both myself and my co-nanny let mom boss know it was my birthday on more than one occasion leading up to the day. Thursday morning comes and MB doesn't even wish me a happy birthday. She then leaves in the afternoon and isn't expected back until after 8 PM. After school my co-nanny brings home a little birthday cake and balloons for me. She gathers the children together, has them sing happy birthday and we all have a very small piece of cake. We then cleaned up and put things away.

We then go over to dad's house for dinner where there are lots of balloons, another birthday cake and a very nice card and gift from Dad.

Later on that evening MB returns home and our charges tell her about having birthday cake. She proceeds to FLIP OUT on all of us. She grills the children and my co-nanny about where the cake and balloons came from. She then insists that we get the cake from our house back out and goes on to eat 3 pieces!

Friday morning comes and she's still pissed. She grilled my co-nanny again about the cake and accuses her of hiding my birthday on purpose. My co nanny finally had enough and basically tells her to screw off. Thank goodness we were off at 8 am Friday morning so we get through the rest of the morning.

Later on that morning my co nanny and I both get a call from our nanny agent. MB called her and basically is considering firing both of us. We both got reprimanded and told we are no longer allowed to have celebrations in her house without prior permission.

What do you all think? I just think this whole thing is ridiculous and we didn't do anything wrong. [/quote]
