The idiot who said there was no ice is completely insane. It took me two hours to get to work with folks driving 10 miles per hour.I saw a car slide into the medium , 18 wheeler get stuck, 3 car accident, people sliding up a street almost hitting the cars on the other side. My boss fell why trying to walk to the Metro. Just being hired a couple months ago I was unclear about the weather conditions so I just assumed it wasn't bad.

Now I clear that I should follow the government closings, but if I feel it's too bad just let them know. I even slipped on the side walk trying to get to my car yesterday after work!

I'm a nanny who lives in Chicago. We have winter weather at least 6 months out of the year. It's rainy, snowy, sleet, windy, below freezing temps, etc. I still make it to work everyday. I don't all off because there is a few inches of snow or a rain storm. I suck it up because I am an adult and my bosses rely on me in order to do their jobs.

Even though I follow a very different attitude than most nannies on here, I agree with OP. No matter it was rain, snow or sunshine, MB wrote in her contract that days where the school will be closed, she has off. MB needs to honor that commitment.

Uh, nannies are for people who don't want to drive their kids somewhere. If they wanted to do that, they'd use daycare. Don't be so lazy!

Nannies can't come to work in rain or snow, but God forbid if MB is 5 minutes late! Then nanny becomes passive aggressive for 3 weeks.

Temper, temper. Get a grip.

I'm sorry but this is completely impossible to read. Punctuate it if you want us to read it.

Stop it. This is not about nannies. People in this area do this whenever it snows and it is not unique to nannies. Just check out all the freak out threads in the school boards in the main forum. Give the nanny vitriol a rest.
