[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny came in. I walked to my work. It was perfectly safe out there, you just couldn't walk in your summer flats. But since DC gets snow regularly, I would hope she could get a pair of boots.[/quote]

We're in NYC, not DC.  It was snowing hard very early this morning, but by the afternoon when nanny had to leave for work, it was lightly snowing.  Nanny is originally from South America and last winter she was a live-in nanny so this is her first winter as a live-out.  If it were the beginning of winter, or our first snow, I would be much more understanding.  But it's mid-March for goodness' sake and we've had several snowfalls, including one major snowstorm last month, already!  Her entitled attitude bothers me.  I told her, look, plenty of people went to work today and she responded "You know I'm from South America!  This snow is a big deal to me!"  She's in her early 30s, by the way, not a less adaptable older age.  And she actually thinks her lack of snow boots is an excuse for not coming to work.  I moved to NY/CT over 20 years ago and didn't get my first pair of snow boots until last year.  I just don't know how to get through to her and get the creeping feeling that I can't.  She often doesn't own up to her mistakes and tries to put the onus on me.  These incidents happen every few weeks, so often enough to be annoying, but not so often that I'm itching to fire her a**.
