[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, PP - something being a "hassle" is not an excuse not to go to work. Something being unsafe, yes. But just a hassle?  Of course take a few extra minutes to clear off your car and drive slower or come in a half hour late once the roads are more clear. But if my employee told me it was just too much of a hassle to come in, that wouldn't work for me more than once. [/quote]

Agreed. My husband and I are both doctors and don't have the option of telecommuting. Nor do we have the option of not going to work if the office is open. Unfortunately we live on the top of a really steep hill that becomes a sheet of ice that takes days to melt when it snows even an inch. When we know the weather is going to be bad we stay at my parents house which means packing up 3 children and 2 adults. It's a HUGE pain but as I said, just because it snows doesn't mean we don't have to go to work.

I don't want our nanny to be unsafe so of course if I don't have to go to work neither does the nanny but if I have to go I expect her to at least try her best to be able to come, even if it takes a little longer.[/quote] I truly  hope you mean,  you expect her to come to your parent s house, and not yours with the steep hill covered with ice.  No parent has answered my ice question yet.  If I don't ski, then I won't be on an ice covered hill...period. Now if you come and get me, at the bottom of the hill, and return me to my starting point, at the end of the day, then we're in business.[/quote]

No, I want her to go to my house and up the hill while my children are safely at my parents' house.  Obviously that's not what I meant.  If I can't go up and down the hill neither can she so she would come to my parents'.  [/quote]
