[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about live in nannies who work when it snows. Do you make the live in nanny drive the children to play dates or other events if they are not comfortable? [/quote]
Listen to yourself, woman. You can't be that ignorant, can you?[/quote]
What do you mean ? What am I supposed to do when the kids have a play date scheduled or want to go bowling ? I'm having this issue today right now. [/quote]

If you aren't comfortable driving, you skip it. Pretty simple stuff. It's really a debate for you whether you should risk a car accident so the kids can go bowling? Play outside in the snow if the kids are that restless.
When did common sense become so difficult?[/quote]
The issue is my bosses are the ones who set up the play date expecting me to take the children. By me not taking them I am going against my bosses orders. I'd rather not lose my job but I'm very scared to drive in this weather.[/quote]

Have you told your bosses that you are not comfortable driving in this weather?   My bosses are ok with me not driving in the snow, unless it is to go pick up the kids or something.  They understand there are some crazy winter drivers out there. [/quote]
Yes they know I made in clear when I was hired but they seem to have forgotten or just don't care. The response when I told them I was scared to drive was to figure it out. Not sure what they meant by that. I'm sure they are really upset with me right now but I don't want to get stuck or in a car accident. [/quote]

they are beyond insensitive. so having their precious cargo, in a car with a frightened driver trumps common sense???  I hope some parents come back as nannies to neurotic parents, in their next lives.  That would be too much, like the right thing.[/quote]
Thankfully the snow stopped and the roads cleared up in the afternoon and I was able to take the children bowling. I still feel awful for upsetting my boss. Not being comfortable driving in bad weather is a short coming of mine. I take my job and the safety of my charges very serious. I shoveled the driveway and sidewalk hoping that would show them I try my best and am not trying to be difficult. Of course I also paid for the bowling and won't get paid back. I don't think they take the money I spend on their children into consideration as I never get paid back. Oh we'll hopefully they go to school tomorrow.[/quote]
