[quote=Anonymous]Hi,

I consider myself a pretty shy person, but I never imagined that I'd have so much difficulty interacting so closely with both my bosses every day. It just intimidates me. Anyone else?

I can't pinpoint what it is. There is always this awkwardness between us. Maybe it's just that I'm an employee inside their home, I don't know. The dad isn't too bad, he seems a lot more interested in the work I've done that day than the mom is... the mom, while incredibly sweet, doesn't ever really talk to me. I think she feels awkward too, because during the interview she said "I remember from my babysitting days how it was kind of awkward when the parents were home."  I keep trying to strike more friendly conversation but I don't think she's up for it, she just gives quick responses and before I know it I'm just out the door and feel pretty bad about how any conversation went or rather lack thereof.

Also, before the parents leave in the morning and if the kids are up feels even worse... Yeah I know I have a lot to learn. Obviously with the kids when the parents aren't there it's fine.

Anyone else or is this just me[/quote]
