[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It all depends on her reasoning for saying "No" OP.

Did she decline because she already had made holiday plans? If that is the case, then maybe she already had a plan in place to do something fun w/her friends.

Or did she just decline just to be difficult?
If that is the case, then I say from now on, do not be flexible w/her if she won't be the same w/you.[/quote]

We didn't ask for specific dates for her to make it up, said we could find ones that work, which makes me inclined to believe she is just being difficult. [/quote]

It sounds like that might be the case, so sit down with your nanny and talk to her about it (rather than just "believing" she's being difficult) - remind her of all the times you've had flexibility for her. Tell her you expected that flexibility would be reciprocated whenever possible and are surprised that she wasn't willing to work with you on this, and ask for her reasoning. That should tell you whether she's worried about hours hanging over her (in which case choose and schedule the make-up hours now) or if she really isn't prepared to work with your needs the way you've worked with hers. Then go from there, but please just talk to her rather than assuming anything...[/quote]
