You're a drama queen OP, and you're getting a lot of support from other drama queen nannies. I really wouldn't take that to mean a whole lot. Bosses aren't always nice, and sometimes they'll act like their time and what they're doing is more important. They sign your checks, so suck it up or move on. You were acting like a child then, and you're acting like one now, continuing to stew over this non issue (aren't you supposed to be watching her kids?) No wonder she treats you like one.

that should be, I am an adult.

So the MB is occasionally rude, but infrequently, and the rest of the time she's reasonable and pleasant?

Sounds like something you just live with and don't take personally. Who knows what's going on w/ her on the days when she's short with you but it's almost certainly not about you if it's so occasional so try not to take it personally or make a big thing of it.

She isn't one of MB's children. She is an adult who deserves the same courtesy that her MB expects of her.
That was beyond rude.

I agree and I would have responded, "I beg your pardon. I adult."

Looking through your emails isn't rocket science, and the mom was rude. If she needed to concentrate she should've asked the OP to hold on a second or say something 'let me just find the address', not shush her.

OP, with your new comments it sounds like your MB isn't very good about controlling her emotions from time to time. If it really irks or upsets you, next time something like this happens I would ask her to please speak to you nicely and treat you with respect. Chances are she doesn't realise she's doing it, especially if she doesn't feel the need to apologise later, so maybe that would help her.

Or just let it go, if you can deal with that.

I'm sorry, I really disagree. It might not have been the nicest, but I'm sure it was a knee jerk reaction to an annoying situation. OP should have enough sense to keep quiet while others are trying to think. She was acting like an impatient child, and she got treated like one. OP was the one being rude.

OP here- I'm sorry but looking for an e-mail does not require a ton of thinking, especially since she was in no rush. I was also not acting like an impatient child, she was talking to me while she was looking then when I asked a question she shushed me.

OP here- It is very hard to describe, sometimes she is very nice and asks how everything went, other times she seems to rush me out of the house and never seems to ask about how things are going. There have been several times she has snapped at me and even raised her voice at me over very minuscule things, and all 4 times it's happened in the year I've been here I've felt it was the last straw. However she always seems to go back to normal the next day so I excuse it by thinking about her high stress job.

I think that was rude. I can't imagine any of the mombosses I worked with shushing me.

It was rude of your MB to shush you as you are an adult, but she probably just did it without thinking. She's probably used to shushing the kids when they are talking when she's busy, so it was just a natural reaction. I wouldn't think too much into it.

You're thinking too much into this!

I came in this morning ready to start the week, MB was telling me about a tutoring session charge will be attending this week. She was looking at her e-mail searching for the one that had the address. At that time I simply asked her if the tutoring would be held by the school, and she 'shushed' me. I was a little surprised and stopped talking immediately. I understand that I probably shouldn't of spoken to her while she was searching her e-mail, but I can't help but feel a little offended that she shushed me. Thoughts?
