[quote=Anonymous]My nanny is habitually late (usually just 5 minutes or so) and she will usually text me that she's running late. If I see the text, I reply " no problem". I am also very flexible when she has to take a few hours off here and there for doctors appointments, or personal errands. Usually she will give me a days notice and not much of a choice in the matter. I am always flexible and rearrange my schedule so that she can take care of these things. (my job is somewhat flexible).

Yesterday I had a very important business call that I planned to take on my drive home from work. I was worried it may run over by a few minutes, so I texted her and asked if she was available for an extra 5 minutes or so in case my call ran over. She responded "I guess". This REALLY pissed me off. I have never come home late before, in fact usually I am home early. I would have been happier and understood if she just said she couldn't do it, she had plans. but I found the "I guess" unprofessional despite my flexibility for her lateness and personal errands. Maybe I am overreacting but this is really bugging me. I plan on saying something today but maybe I am being too sensitive?
