You know what would have been less annoying? Calling your sitter, explaining the situation (mainly that she was not really needed and another adult would be there the whole time) and seeing if she still wanted to come in. It seems like a very difficult concept for many MB's to grasp that their sitters and nannies have lives outside of making money, and usually, when given the choice, will take the night off.

THIS!!!!!!!!<3

The OP had the opportunity to take the day off. She opted to work instead. What the DB does while she's working is not her concern. Maybe he just wanted to relax on one of HIS two days off.

You need to study up on what bullying is, OP.

I did not bully you by calling you out on your use of victim language. You declared yourself as being taken advantage of when, in truth you were being paid to a job you accepted.

You were not taken advantage of, and your characterization of the job as such is most definitely using victim language.

Vent all you like, but be prepared for people to call you out on your nonsense.

NP here. I agree with OP. You're the bully. Again.

What exactly in the post constitutes bullying?

Be specific, please.

Thanks!

That is illegal. Nannies MUST be paid hourly.

Since when? A lot of nanny jobs are salaried

I would be annoyed too OP, because it seemed the job was kinda misrepresented since you were told both parents would be gone, and when you got there you found out one parent would be home the whole time. That would kind of irk me, but it wouldn't be a deal-breaker.

If it were me, I would just work the extra day, not complain and just not work any extra days in the future unless I direly needed the money.

I wouldn't necessarily say they are taking advantage of you OP since they are paying you.

Think of it this way, you are getting an opportunity to make extra money. And in this day, that is a good thing.

OP again.He just let me off for the night and actually apologized for upsetting the kids and being kind of short with me. I think a lot of you thought I was way more upset than I actually was. Just a mild annoyance that I felt like venting. Thanks for listening.
