[quote=Anonymous]I have been working with my current family for about 9 weeks.  This is my first FT nanny job so there is a lot of ground I still am trying to figure out.  It's been good, MB and DB seem nice but not overly friendly which works out good since I'm fairly introverted.  I usually arrive at their house around 6am, MB usually leaves around 6:15.  The baby is almost always awake, and then when the toddler wakes up I get him out of bed, fed and dressed.  DB leaves around 9, and usually is awake by 8:00.  Today he was still in bed by 8:30, and I was conflicted.  I continued on with my day, assuming that maybe DB was sick today or was going in later.  It's about 9:30 when DB comes in LIVID!  He is cursing at himself, and then looks at me and said, "Is their a reason you didn't feel it was necessary to let me know I was an HOUR late to work?"  I kind of was shocked, and said something along the lines of I thought he wasn't going to go to work today.  He said, "Do you think you'd be here if I were going to stay?"  I said, sorry and that I thought he may be sick and that I didn't want to intrude into his bedroom if he was sick (by the way, I never go into their bedroom, especially when one of them is in it!)  He kind of scoffed, went into the kitchen, called his boss and was cussing and talking under his breath.  I know he was mad, and I'm sure it was just displayed anger.  However, it really really hurt my feelings and I couldn't' help but cry a bit.  He ignored me and then left.  I sent him a long text apologizing and saying I didn't feel like it was my place to go into his bedroom and wake him up, and he sent me a text back saying, "It doesn't take much skill level to realize if someone oversleeps, you wake them up."  I just never texted back.  I felt horrible about it all day, and when MB got home she said she was sorry DB was rude to me but seemed  bit upset.  My question is, do you think I should have gone in and woke him up?  I really feel uncomfortable going into their bedroom, I don't feel like that's my job to get DB up on time.  On the other hand, I've had situations when I oversleep and it sucks to be late.  Thoughts?  [/quote]
