Working Moms

Update

I had posted last week about my dysfunctional work situation, and thought I would give an update.

I believe I had mentioned that she had refused to pay me the 50 she owed me for gas and parking, and at that point I had decided to quit. I couldn't do it at that moment because we were in public and one of the kids was there. I called instead on Saturday morning after my interview with another family. She was upset, but I just explained briefly that she has a wonderful family but based on the driving and uncertainty about hours, we were not a good fit.

I just got a picture from her of her younger child crying, the other one visibly upset, saying, "see what you've caused? You are very unprofessional and uncourteous!"

I'm devastated, I feel horrible, and I can't stop crying. I feel so guilty and I don't know if I can do this anymore. I've loved being a nanny but I hate feeling this way.

Re: Update

  • Oh my goodness!  First of all, I think you 100% made the right decision- in just the short amount of time you worked there, she made it very obvious that she doesn't respect, you, your time, or your money.  She probably knows she has sweet ki

  • what a terrible person - you made 100% the right decision.

    If her kids are crying its because she's an unreliable employer - not because of you.  Ditto PP - F.U.C.K.H.E.R.
