[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same is true of a nanny constantly asking for favors from her MB.

I dont think anyone likes to say no so you are correct, OP, it does hurt to ask.  [/quote]

+ 1.  I HATE how many favors our nanny asks for, too.  [/quote]

+2  Yes, OP, it does hurt to have to continually say no and it does color my opinion of our nanny who asks frequently for favors.  I am sure it is the same for nannies being asked too many favors by their MB/DB.

And it is simply rude.  [/quote]

What favors are your nanny's asking for? I can only think of one thing I've asked my employers for in the past 3 years of working for them, and that was to switch my hours one day so that I could attend an important school event. What are you considering a favor? And do you ask things of her? I doubt my employers are truly aware of how often they ask me to do this or that little thing that aren't really my job. It's all supposed to be a give and take right?[/quote]

I am the "+1 poster".  Our nanny asks to change her schedule pretty much every week, and asks if she can come in late at least once a week as well.  She asks if she can take the kids on her personal errands (which I generally don't mind but I have to say "no" when she asks to have them sit while she gets her hair cut or teeth cleaned).  She has asked for advances on her salary and to borrow our second car on the weekends.  She has asked if she could bake something for her boyfriend in our kitchen while the kids are awake and has switched her vacation weeks three times already since December...

How many more examples do you want?  She is constantly asking for something!!!  [/quote]
