[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]   I've had my nanny for about 18 months.  We've had minimal problems with her, and overall she has worked well for us.  Today has been a very bad day for us all.  Two of my children are sick, as well as my husband.  [b]I called her in early[/b], she is very flexible and agreed to the new schedule for the day. [b] I was with her in the early part of the day[/b], but had an appointment in the evening.  It was hectic, and [b]I ended up being late.  So I was not in the best of moods when I arrived home[/b].  I guess I came across poorly, because out of nowhere I asked her a question and she snaps, "I cleaned up your children's puke all day and you are going to treat me like shit?"  I was shocked, and she was too.  She immediately apologized, and said she was tired and started crying.  I feel bad, because I know she's young and may not yet be mature enough to be able to handle her emotions and her mouth.  I said it was fine, I've snapped at people as well, but NEVER my boss.  I was just going to let it slide, since it was obvious she didn't mean it HOWEVER it got me thinking...  She has shown not only shown me a lack of respect, but also that she doesn't not have a very good handle on her emotions.  I fear she may lose control with my children, and I don't just mean verbally.  I saw a new side of her, and it makes me second guess who I leave my children with when I'm at work.  I may be overanalyzing the situation, but I'm still a bit flabbergasted.  It may just have been a bad day all around and something I need to just let go.  You know how mothers are though, I guess my "Mama Bear" instincts are just in hyper drive.  Thoughts?[/quote]

Okay, so you knew it was going to be a long, stressful day- but you called her in early, even though you were going to be home all morning?
Additionally, "I ended up being late, so I was not in the best of moods when I arrived home" --- Um, how do you think your nanny felt??[/quote]
