[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened, OP?[/quote] [quote=Anonymous]What happened, OP?[/quote] Short version, it didn’t go well and I’m either going to quit or be fired by the end of the week. Long version. I e-mailed her Tuesday night and when I came in Wednesday she said she got me e-mail but was exhausted and didn’t get a chance to read it. Day went fine, at about 3pm she texts and tells me not to the boys out and she’ll be home early to talk. She came home at her regular time and was obviously not happy. She told me she had wanted to drop last week because it was stressful and traumatic. I apologized but said I felt like we needed to talk about what happened. She got visibly frustrated and I have my spiel, she stopped me half way and basically told me I should have let it go because now she’s “questioning my abilities to properly handle this position”. I was kind of shocked and froze up. I expected a better conversation and was met with a lot of anger and I have a really hard time defending/expressing myself when the other person seems less than receptive. She got pretty heated and basically said that last Tuesday was the worst day of her life and now I’m trying to put the blame on her and her family. She said I don’t understand because I’m not a parent, and that it was selfish of me to be more concerned about myself than her sons. I tried to explain where the confusion lies, and how I wanted to avoid situations like this in the future. She accused of me of trying to shift responsibility off myself. She said she doubted my abilities because instead of taking responsibility I’m trying to blame others. She told me I was, “playing dumb” and lacked common sense because I obviously should have known I needed to go with her family if they ever took the boys outside. She meant take a back seat in the house, but during outings I needed to be present and in charge. She NEVER told me this.... ever. She said numerous times to take a back seat. She never distinguished when and when not to take action. I really didn’t get a chance to explain myself. I left in tears. I’m heartbroken because I truly love these boys and hate to think this is how it’s going to end. Also, I’m concerned because this is so out of character for Mb. She’s always been professional, fairly kind (not ever personable, but kind), and reasonable. I’m wondering if something is going on... So, that’s it. Bad ending. I’m working today but MB was very cold this morning. I’m not suppose to take them out at all today which is abnormal. [/quote]
