[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again...I am trying to be understanding. I mean she did catch the sinus infection from our son and her dentists appointment was her checkup scheduled long before we hired her and she gave us over a month's notice for it since it's only open during when she works. I just feel that all these things adding up to this funeral thing is a bit much. I guess her husband's grandmother was essentially his mom as she raised him, and she knew her as well. So I know she feels the need to be there and it's far out of state, hence the time frame, but it's really kicked our butts having the one person we rely for child care not be available on a consistent basis like we need her to.

These are the things you need to consider when you hire someone. If you hire a nanny who is a mom to teens because of her experience, expect her to take off for her childs school events. Hiring a nanny with her own young children similar in age to yours? Expect her to take off frequently to be with them when they are sick, and expect yours to get sick often. Hiring a nanny with a new husband? Expect her to ask off early often for date nights and take extra vacations during inconvenient times. If you hire a fat nanny expect frequent days off to recover energy. If you hire a very young nanny expect her to make some dumb decisions, burn a few things, break a few things, and get in a car accident.

These are things you need to prepare for as a MB.[/quote]

and expect a stupid poster to post something stupid..............this is among the things you need to prepare when you are a DCUM reader [/quote]
