[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people I know hire nannies because they want a household team and a little flexibility. They give you flexibility. They are even paying you for a week where your job will be really light and then you still have paid vacation.  But you can’t be a little flexible?  It’s one day of your life. Are you really going to suffer that much from going to bed late ONE night? [/quote]

Are you serious?! A nanny isn’t your personal chauffeur. They provide care for CHILDREN. If you want someone who is a maid, Butler, chauffeur, nanny, household mananger, etc then you pay accordingly for that. No, I would not take my boss to the airport nor would they even ask. But the families I work with are professionals and do not blur lines. [/quote]

Are YOU serious?  Driving and picking up from the airport ONE TIME doesn't make you a chauffeur.  It makes you an awesome, helpful, valuable employee who has critical thinking skills like - "hey - I recognize that getting to and from the airport with young kids is really stressful because of the car seat situation, and I'm going to go the extra mile to help them because I'm part of this village too."

Op said they ordered her. She's totally in the right here. You have to demand respect op. These people sound awful. [/quote]

It was not a miscommunications. MB was in the same room hearing DB tell me

Honestly, they’re really not. I think they just assumed I should take them and maybe was the best option. They just could’ve handled things differently. When it comes up again, I’ll be sure to let them know next time they take a trip that should ASK me if I’m available for pick up drop off[/quote]

I am new to this thread, but I kind of wonder if this was a miscommunication.  I am guilty of sometimes telling my husband that I did something, when what really I *mean* is that I will do it tomorrow.  So, maybe your DB thought your MB already discussed this with you and thought he was confirming plans?

But in reality, it was the first you heard of it, so it came off as demanding?[/quote][/quote]
