[quote=Anonymous]I mean this in the nicest way possible.  My advice to you is to stop apologizing to people and own your decisions.  Choose whether you want to have your nanny come in and work or you want to take the day off.  
If you are taking the day off, then take the day off.  Don't call into meetings and answer emails.  People will find a way to manage.  What would they do if you got into an accident and were in the hospital all day?  Your co-workers are being ridiculous for guilt-tripping you.  You are not so important that no one can do any work if you aren't there one day.  Also, play your cards a little closer to your chest.  If people are judgmental about you being a mother, they don't need to know that the reason you can't come in is to be with your kids.

If you want to work, then have your nanny come in.  Don't apologize to her for asking her to come into work on a day that you are paying her and she is scheduled to come in, particularly if you are providing her transportation.
