[quote=Anonymous]Answer is No. But if it makes you feel better, MB should not be pointing out your faults, either.

If there is an issue, you need to figure out a way to communicate in a way that is not "pointing out a fault."

What if MB said to you "You are filthy and careless." How would you feel? Hopefully you have never had a MB say that to you because they know better.

What a MB may have said to you is "Could you please make sure the dishes are washed after kids have eaten?"

Think about what MB needs to do in order to make your employment workable. Does she need to butt out when kids are being bad? Maybe approach her with "Can we talk about the procedure I should follow when x is acting up?" Then during the talk, go over what you should do and what MB should do. "I will do x , then  y,  then z. You only come down when z is not working." This kind of conversation is a lot different from "Let me tell you something, you hormonal MB who can't see left and right. You are all messed up, blah blah blah."

I know working for someone is hard. But this is what not just childcare but everyone in the world who has to work with others have to do and this is how everyone else in the world deals with issues that come up in the work place.[/quote]
