My nanny accidentally texted me a nasty message...about me

"Well, she claims it was accidentally, but why should I believe that now?"

Could you imagine texting a friend smack about your boss, only to accidentally send it to the hand that feeds you?

Mortifying!

Well this nanny doesn’t have to try too hard to imagine it. 

She did it. And then her boss posted about it.

"She feels hatred and entitlement about an extremely cushy job"

The boss posted a complaint about what happened, to see if her response had been reasonable.

“It was in Spanish, but says essentially: 'f**king woman wanted me here at 8:30am today and then at 9am was still here. Just wants to complicate my life. Shameless."

It left the mum feeling quite blindsided. 

“She is paid full time even though my kids go to school until 3pm now. She gets five weeks paid vacation per year. We’ve always considered her and treated her like family." 

The nanny's relationship with the kids is fantastic, which is what made the unexpected message sting even more. The mother is now considering an alternative arrangement for minding her children. 

“Knowing that she feels hatred and entitlement about an extremely cushy job tilts the scales toward finding something else,” she shared.

"She might genuinely despise you"

Commenters were left divided. Some related to having a bad day and feeling the need to complain about your employer. 

“She could just be venting or she might genuinely despise you,” one commenter wrote. 

Another said: “If it’s just a job and she’s venting about her boss, totally fine.” 

Others raised concerns of employing someone who harbours quiet resentment.

“I wouldn’t be able to trust someone who has so much disdain for me. I’d probably let her go,” shared one person. 

“If someone hated me that much, it would plant a seed that they may not be safe around my kids,” another agreed.

The mother found the reason for the complaint the most ironic part of it all, adding, “LOL at her thinking she can’t be asked to work during normal hours if I’m home or doing something that she didn’t pre approve of."
