[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you should do anything else your already going to be taking care of a 3 yr old and probably a newborn full time plus your mb that is a lot of work. Mb's are like the worst to take care of [b]get me this get me that.[/b] You should get paid extra for an extra person. [b]Make your mb do something like make dinner.[/b] [/quote]

MB here, who had a nanny through two maternity leaves. I am not even sure where to start with you!  I'm sorry you've worked for such horrible people, but those were singular experiences, and not the norm. I would NEVER and HAVE never, in my entire life, either personally or professionally told ANYONE to "Get me [this]" or "Get me [that]". It would never cross my mind to speak to another human being that way. Also, a nanny does not get to "make" their boss do anything. If I asked my nanny to make what I considered a simple dinner and they said they weren't comfortable with that, I STILL wouldn't make dinner. I'd have one of my kids do it, order in, have DH pick up takeout, etc.

Maybe you are burnt out, PP, and should switch careers. [/quote]
I dealt with a mb on maternity leave who was a drug addict. It was very tough. She would not get out of bed. Db told me everyday I had to make her get out of bed by 4pm and make to do things like make dinner. It was exhausting. I was taking care of 4 kids 4 and under and she was the worst. I feared db everyday that he would come home and mb would be higher then a kite and in bed. He took out his anger on me.[/quote]

Not 15:28 but I have to agree with her. Your experience sounds pretty horrible, and I can understand if you were not in a position to quit or find another job(?). However, you have to admit that your experience is not the norm and its very unhelpful to act like all MBs home on maternity leave would act like your drug addict MB.
