[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I said she didn't have to come! And that it should be her responsibility to use her leave. Please read with your eyeballs.  She received 32 days of paid leave last year, including unlimited sick time.  We are very generous.  Some people take advantage.[/quote] Typical i made this a topic in my nanny fb group because I can't believe people really act like this.. and judging from your response I hit a nerve but I said what I said. She should start seeking employment elsewhere..[/quote]

“I said what I said?” Are you an 11-year-old girl? Because if not, how embarrassing for you.

DP, and no, you didn’t “hit a nerve,” but good try. We’re just disgusted by your selfishness.[/quote]

I'm going to go ahead and respond to this even though it wasn't my original comment. "I said what I said," is a quote from a grown woman. It simply means "I said what I meant." One doesn't have to be an 11-year-old girl to understand or to quote it. What on earth are you talking about? Please stay on topic.

The point that everyone in the comments is making is that it is extremely self-centered and inconsiderate to ask a nanny to come in during inclement weather. Period. There is no amount of crashing out on the internet or even talking with other employers who agree with you that will make this behavior anywhere close to decent. A person attempting to stay safe during inclement weather is not "taking advantage." By this logic, there is no reason why she should ever take a day off. Not a snowstorm, not a tornado, not severe illness. You simply think that she should always be at your beck and call. You are procuring her services. You don't own her. Stop behaving as if you do.[/quote]
