[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have done this before- we had scheduled our sitter and DH was not feeling well. We thought the sitter would be annoyed if we cancelled on her- so had her come work anyhow. [/quote]
You know what would have been less annoying? Calling your sitter, explaining the situation (mainly that she was not really needed and another adult would be there the whole time) and seeing if she still wanted to come in. It seems like a very difficult concept for many MB's to grasp that their sitters and nannies have lives outside of making money, and usually, when given the choice, will take the night off. [/quote]

Here is what the OP would look like if the MB/DB would have done what you said;

I'm so annoyed and don't know how to handle the situation. I was supposed to sit for my regular family tonight while MB and DB went to a wedding. I didn't make plans for myself tonight in order to sit for them. MB just called and said DB isn't going to the wedding now so they don't really need me. They gave me the option to work anyway but why would I want to do that when DB will be there too? It's just going to make watching the kids that much more difficult. So now I'm home with no plans for the evening AND I'm not getting paid. [/quote]

Things come up and MBs/DBs can't always be mind readers to know EXACTLY what the nanny/sitter would prefer in every situation. [/quote]
It's called "communication", 7:33. When you have a change of plans, you simply communicate. Shouldn't that be routine?[/quote]
They didn't have a change of plans.  They planned to use her, as agreed WITH HER, and they did.  There's no change. The only change is that DB stayed home, but the nanny doesn't get to decide what he does.  If she no longer wants to sit when one parent is home, she should say so.  From what she wrote, DB didn't get into her space or business, he simply vegged out. [/quote]
