[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]was there really no way to make it work...like take the other kid to daycare early, or ask your MB if you could bring the kid with you then take your fill time charge with you to drop off the other kid later? if you're not the kind of many who is constantly asking for favors, andate trying to help out a pregnant mom, most reasonable people are willing to be flexible if possible. but I do agree pregnant moms reaction was inexcusable and over the top.[/quote]

Why should OP have to make these sorts of arrangements to help such jerks?
I would never, ever ask my full-time employers for favors to help out a babysitting client.
It is unprofessional.  I would be completely unwilling to jeopardize my good relationship with my MB/DB.[/quote] then you don't have a very good relationship with them in the first place. I've asked for accommodations under special circumstances to help out other families and [b]if we can make it work, we do.[/b] If we can't then that's OK, but there's no harm in asking. The families know if they're in a pinch I'll make an effort to help them out as well. It's called do unto others as you would have others do unto you. But then I don't work for jerks.[/quote]

I might ask for this kind of favour of my bosses for a family member or close friend (who in any case would all ask me well ahead of time) but why should my bosses make such last minute adjustments for another client? In no other profession would you ask one client to make such big adjustments for another, especially not when one provides so much more business than the other. [/quote]
