What are you, going to melt if you don't respond to her texts? You are already doing close to nothing at your job, don't be lazy!

I really hope you aren't an MB, because I am and this is the stupidest and most embarrassing post I've seen here.

OP, there is no reason at all for your MB to text you when you're not at work and you should feel free to ignore all her texts. If you do this, one of two things will happen. She'll get it and leave you alone, or she won't and ask you why you didn't answer. If I were you, and because I'm not a fan of conflict, I'd say something along the lines of....after hours, I turn off my phone so I can enjoy my night. You can also just straight up tell her that when you're off the clock, you don't answer work texts.

Either way, put a stop to it. This isn't right.[/quote]

I agree tht constant texting is annoying, but an employer shouldn't have the right to text a household employee outside of work hours at all? I don't see why not. If my mb texts me, I'm not annoyed, and I have no problem texting her. Just sounds odd.[/quote]

This is one of those things that is circumstantial. Yes, if MB texted me at night to let me know about a schedule change in the morning or if a kid was sick, something along those lines, that would be ok. Texting every hour with updates about a baby not napping, not appropriate. This is also, what, the second day of OP's job, definitely not a good sign. Op, I wouldn't quit yet.  Make it clear that the texts are not welcome or appropriate and try to forge a relationship from there.  MB may really just not know any better at this point. [/quote]
