[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need input from MBs who have been in this position. My mom had surgery and needs 6 weeks to recover. She can’t work and doctor gave her a note. My mom is a full time housekeeper/nanny. She has worked for this woman for 14 years and raised her two children. Currently she helps with housekeeping and with the youngest who is 16. 
Her MB is being a total jerk about her having to take 6 weeks because it was originally only supposed to be 2. This does not inconvenience her at all except in the fact that she will have to cook for her son and do her own laundry and wash her own dishes. 
She is showing my mom that she doesn’t care about her health and cares more about herself. 
Is it unreasonable for her to be acting this way? It was extremely unexpected and of course my mom didn’t plan this but they found some
Thing else during surgery which pushed it to 6 weeks. My mom raised this woman’s children and this is the thanks my mom gets? [/quote]

Boss is being a jerk of course. She should be gracious and say it's OK. She should offer to pay her at least a week of it, since your mom has worked for so long. 
But from her point of view, she needs your mom's services of cooking laundry and dishes. Say your mom worked 10 hours or 15 hours a week. Guess what. If you have a full time job, suddenly adding 10-15 hours of housework a week for 6 WEEKS is a BIG BURDEN. 2 weeks is doable. 6 weeks is NOT doable. Boss now has to spend time and effort to find someone else for that time. It takes a lot of time to find someone that matches up exactly the time frame, someone good and reliable to just do the temp job for 6 weeks. Boss will probably have to pay more to get someone so short notice. . So I understand the frustration the boss is going through. But boss should have contained her frustration and been more kind and gracious. [/quote]
