OMG he did it to me again

I'd mention to him nicely that you are not comfortable babysitting his child while you are trying to get your work done. If he gives you any flack, ask him,"if I were a man, would you be expecting me to babysit your child?" Not in a confrontational way, just kind of put the seed in place that you are thinking this is a gender thing. I have found that even the most obnoxious of bosses gets nervous when he thinks he may have crossed the gender line.

Laura,

I'm sorry you took offense from my post but nowhere did I say I was sick of you complaining...I'm stating unless you confront the situation, you are not totally innocent.

I'm just saying that when he does this it really bothers you. You state that in your posts. But it doesn't seem to bother you enough to confront him. I have confronted a couple of bosses over situations at work. In my experience, it's been a good thing. As a matter of fact, I went to our Security office this morning about something. I didn't like doing it but if I didn't, I would only have myself to blame for letting a bad situation continue.

In your post, you asked a question. If it was rhetorical or you were just venting I apoligize.

I think you should take her out and get her a couple of tatoos and a piercing or two. Oh, and don't forget the punk haircut. Maybe THAT would make your boss think twice about asking you to be a babysitter.

That guy sure has some nerve. Is this part of your job description? At our university, people absolutely refuse to do anything that is not in their job description, and they have unions to back them up on it.
