[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be less inclined to be flexible wi our nanny in the future if inconvenient to you -- unless she was simply unavailable on the make up days you proposed but willing to work with you to find a mutually convenient make up time.  Actually, if she just said a flat out no I would call her on it (as I once did with a former au pair). I said: I will honor the schedule I already assigned for the week but I do have to point out that recently you've requested my flexibility for x y z and I've always tried to accommodate your requests.  You have no obligation to agree to this late schedule change but the flexibility feels a little me sided.  In my case that worked really well.  She paused, thought and said "you're right.". She apologized and from that point forward it was much more balanced. [/quote]

Great response!

If your nanny gave a blanket no, call her on it the way pp describes. If she couldn't accommodate specific future dates I think that is reasonable but she should work with you to find the days that work for you both.[/quote]
