Well it is unfortunate that this particular MB doesn't inspire that kind of good will in her employee. If you treat your nanny like a commodity all year, giving the minimum your agreement allows and demanding everything you feel entitled to, your employee isn't going to go to bat for you. I'm sure if OPs MB had come to her humbly, admitting that the contract entitled her to this day off, but that she needs the break, perhaps offering another day off in the future, or time and a half for the day. But she didn't. She chucked the agreement aside and made demands. No wonder OP doesn't to help her.

"An" goes before any vowel; an "A"; an "E." It also goes before letters that start with a vowel sound...like if you spelled the letter "M," it would be spelled "em." Ergo, you write/say "an M" or "an F." In contrast, you'd say/write "a B" or "a C." I'm not really trying to prove anyone wrong, just that grammar is my thing.

I'm amazed how you think a nanny should conform to your daily whims. Grow up already.

umm an MB's job is a "daily whim?"

And so is your grammar.

...what?

The word "an" does not go before the word "MB"

Not the poster who posted it but the word "an" certainly goes before "MB." Check your grammar!

This forum kills me! You are all wrong! You can't say "an M... " whatever. You can use " a M..." Whatever, "the M..." Whatever. You all kill me!

It depends on how you read this ... It would be "a Mom Boss ..." but " an emm bee."

Exactly. A precedes consonant sounds, an precedes vowel sounds.

It's "a MB" not "an MB"

You could try, but you could not be more wrong! Anyone else care to weigh in?

I met her in the middle and came in for a few hours. I wasn't happy about it. If I cave with this, what else will I be expected to bend?
