Babysitter was a no show this morning

[bab]

I texted and called her numerous times when she was not here at the regular time.  She finally responded saying she texted me that she could not work today and was sorry if I didn't get the text.  WTF ever.  I HATE that I have to rely on people for childcare. This would not bother me so much if it wasn't my first scheduled day back from vacation.  I've been off since 8/22 FFS!! 

[VeryViolet]

I would be so pissed. Is she normally flaky or is this a one time thing?

[wambam]

What the heck?! You keep texting/calling/pigeon carrying until you get a response that your message has been received!

Maybe she is having sex, I do not blame her, I rather have sex than babysit your kids

Ugh, that sucks. It's one of the reasons I'm glad to have DD in before/after school care and DS in daycare this year. Depending on someone else in the mornings is so stressful, one of my least favorite things about having a nanny.

Ooh yeah I would be crazy pissed. And I am a big fan that when you are in a job where someone else is clearly relying on you then you need to CALL OUT and NOT JUST TEXT OR EMAIL, particularly if you've sent a message and not gotten a response.

You'll never be as good as vacation butter. Stop trying.

Who the flying fuck is vacation butter and I do not give a flying fuck if I am good or not as vacation butter, who fucking cares?

[wambam]

What?

Butter troll?

But then you'd actually have to call instead of just pretend you sent a text.

I'm sorry bab, that is a rough way to start to the morning.

[ECB]

Um, well, er... um.

To the OP- I'd be furious.  FURIOUS.  Is this someone you plan to use on the regular??

[ZoeHart]

Wtf is happening here?

LOL that there is a butter troll.

Sorry, Bab. Is this the 1st time she's flaked on you?

Lol for real

[SKP82]

OMG WTF?

[cinnamoncox]

Bab omg I'm so pissed for you. Is she your regular sitter? Do you have back up?
I hate relying on others. I'm so sorry.

[blueshirt2003]

I can't imagine how pissed off you are. What a bind it must have put you in.

[no0b]

Paula Deen? Is that you?


OP: I would be pissed.

[candyland]

WTF. You would think she would call and tell you in advance. Time to find a new babysitter.

[KB]

Ugh. Sorry Bab. I'd be so pissed. Is this your regular sitter?

Is butter the new ranch dressing?

Time out. That heifer is throwing out the N word? Exactly why is she even still here?

Does Wayne Brady have to smack a bitch?

Yep.

I think that's an IP outable offense.

She called me a C.N. Yes.

OMG I would be red hot mad. Unreliable sitters are the worst. I'm sorry she flaked out on you.

Wait, what?

Holy shit.

Butter troll.

[meggers5]

(what's going on in here?)

[ErinExpat]

I don't think it's anyone that posts regularly-not that it matters.

Based on a few other posts I've seen, it appears to be someone whose first language is not English.
