You couldn't stay overnight?
I stayed overnight, because I work until 6 and start at 7 in the morning, so it didn't make sense for me to drive home (and I have no kids on my own)
I have a separate room at their house anyway, because once a week I work overnight.
My MB was so sweet - she stopped at the store on the way home and bought me food I could eat (I'm doing a cleanse for a few months), she cooked for me and she got me fuzzy slippers. She said my feet must be cold from shoveling snow while she was at work.
I loved sleeping in a bit today and not having to deal with the morning commute.

You realize that your nanny has to make her own commute home too? And later than you...

Nope she doesn't. She also seems to be under the impression that because her home is warm and cozy to her, and she enjoys being home with her kids, that her nanny is somehow less "at work" than she is. Your nanny had to trek home tonight too, and probably in the dark, cold, and wind, blowing fresh snow about and bad/arrogant DC drivers.

I am amazed once again at the negativity of some people on this forum. No need to always assume the worst. I am the MB who was working yesterday. No, our nanny did not have to go home in the cold and dark. My DH came home an hour earlier and gave her a ride home all the way from MD to VA drugging both of our kids with them. Today we picked her up at the metro so she does not have to deal with bus and walking in the cold and she is again at work in our sunny warm house. My employer (large office downtown DC) did not offer to pick me up at the metro. Walked a few blocks as usual in the cold. So, nannies, please stop whining about your employers not carrying about you

To the last commentator I just want to say that I did walk in DC yesterday in the dark getting home. It was a little cold and the wind was blowing in my face. I was actually enjoying myself though and it was not as dramatic and terrible as you make it sound. Just please stop the drama around the cold days!

Admit it. The point of your original post was to somehow undercut the nannies complaining about having to trek in the snow because you were in fact working as well. Someone called you on your hypocrisy. All of your supplemental details are convenient and I doubt they are true. Get off you high horse judging everyone else. Traveling to work sucked yesterday and today, and if you don't like hearing us vent about it, get the eff of the thread.

Nope, not to undercut you. Looks like you might want to get some help to get over your inferiority complex
