Babysitter tattling update- sort of

in April 2013 Moms
The parents of the boy in grant's class didn't write me back, but I haven't seen the sitter since Thursday. Today the mom dropped him off ( my son told me, I didn't see her) and the dad picked him up (huge snow storm here so I only saw him from afar). I kind of wish they had at least acknowledged my email. And I am feeling a little badly if the sitter was fired. I will find out the scoop one way or the other I am sure.

    I can't believe they haven't said anything to you! That is so strange to me. They owe you a HUGE thank you IMO. Is it possible they don't recognize you from your email account? Either way, it boggles my mind that they haven't responded at least via email.

    Possibly. But the subject line said hi from Susan. and my email includes my last name, which they know.

    thanks for the update, I was wondering. I'm so surprised you haven't heard anything back from them.. that is just insane.

    It is weird that they haven't acknowledged your email. I wouldn't feel bad if the sitter indeed did get fired. She was taking that risk by doing something illegal and dangerous.

    Nothing in my spam and it did send because it's in my sent folder. I used the email address that the class has on file, but I agree it is a little strange. I keep thinking maybe the nanny was planning on quitting or maybe she was taking a vacation anyway? I am bound to see the parents at some event sooner or later and "casually" mention- hey, did you ever get that email I sent you?

    Thanks for the update. I can't believe they didn't write you back. I would have been grateful that you were looking out for the safety of my child - I'm surprised they didn't even acknowledge what you did. Well you did the right thing in the end. Maybe they will thank you later.

    I wouldn't worry about them not responding.  You gave them the info and they did what they needed to with it.  Once the info is delivered it's their's to do with it what they will.  It's not really your business what they do with it.  Would it be good manners to respond with a thank you for the info?  Yes, but they didn't.   They probably freaked out when they read the e-mail and are busy figuring out other arrangements.

    FWIW - I know this doesn;t exactly compare, but when I got the PM on facebook about my husband cheating, I didn't respond to the bearer of bad news.  I was too devasted trying to figure out what was going on with everything.  Besides I didn't feel she needed to know anything, which is basically what I told her when she followed up a month later. And I quote " yes, I got the message, now it's none of your business."

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!
