[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NF won’t stop asking me to run errands for them on the weekends. I typically don’t work weekends so it’s not like I’m being paid extra to do this.  I almost always comply and go run the errand. Usually it doesn’t bother me, however  I’m getting tired of it. I haven’t had a raise since I started this job and I’m working today the day after thanksgiving even though in the interview I was told I would have it off.  I feel like I go above and beyond, I’m practically at there beck and call and now I’m wondering if it’s even appreciated.

The next time they ask me to run am errand on the weekend do I just say no ? I try to be a good employee but it seems to be getting me know where. [/quote]

Are they paying you for this?

When I was nannying, and money was tight, I'd have appreciated getting paid overtime to pick up some things when I was already at CVS getting my stuff.

But if they're putting any kind of pressure on you, beyond "Hey you don't happen to be going somewhere that sells toothpaste do you?  If you're willing to pick some up, we'd be grateful, and of course pay you", or they aren't paying you at all, then that's obnoxious.  And even if they are paying you, if you don't want to you should be free to say no.[/quote]

No I’m not being paid for this. I’ll get a text on a Saturday that says we need you to pick up a pie before 3 pm today. Thanks [/quote]

OP, you are insane. I am a mom, not a nanny, and I tend to be a pushover but this is too much even for me. you have a job and outside of that you don't do anything. these people are beyond the pale. I may understand one emergency one in a lifetime when something happens and they really have nobody else to turn to, and they should pay you. you need to say sorry I cannot thank you. no explanation, no nothing, you are not required to justify whey you don't do it. if you want to be lazy on your couch watching TV that's a good reason. these people have no boundaries and you are letting them taking advantage of you. because of this, you need a reset and simply work your hours and then you are out, you never ever do anything for them outside of your work, simply answer no, sorry. if they keep doing this you need to sit them down and tell them that you are the nanny and work from 8-5 to what the kids and out of that they need to hire something else. this is really ridiculous, you need to put a stop or it will be worse[/quote]
