OMG he did it to me again

The boss made a surprise visit in the office today along with his 10 year old daughter, so once again I'm on babysitting duty. Sheesh, the things they don't teach you in college. x(
 
Laura -

Teach her the step workout Cathe taught us Saturday morning! She'll beg her dad not to take her to work ever again!

So did I! Apparently they're not leaving for their cruise until Thursday & it's just a 4 day thing. But WTH is he doing here when no one expects him, especially b/c he's never here when people are looking for him?
 
Hey since he does this why don't you just say "Hey were going out for lunch and shopping for the day" Have a girls day out!! Oh and be sure and get CASH from him.}(
 
LOL I have to tell you what his daughter said to me--it was something like "we're going to Dunkin Donuts, go get your wallet." Nice that she's that comfortable with me, but still.........
 
I did not. She, however, came home with me for lunch & had 3 meatballs & a bowl of ice cream (while playing with Maximus at the same time of course), then an hour later she had a glazed donut & a bagel with extra cream cheese.

Oh to have the metabolism of a 10 year old again! :p
 
Laura,

You just need to teach her a few 'bad words' and when she repeats them to her boss you just shrug and say 'now where would she have heard THAT?'. Bet he doesn't drop her off again :)
 
I really don't like your boss. Why can't you just tell him "no"? There is no way that I would take the crap that he dumps on you. Does he do this to anyone else, or just you? I think that you are too nice a person and he is taking advantage of you. You should take my mom's B#tch Class 101; How to Shove it Where the Sun Doesn't Shine and Make a Lasting Impression. Your boss would be hiding at the very mention of your name. You gotta love the power that comes with that!

ETA I just read the post where she told you to grab your wallet....do you pay for your boss's daughter's lunch when he gives you the awesome "priveledge" to take care of his demanding (I am assuming so since she told you, not asked you, to get your wallet and take her somewhere) daughter? This guy has got some balls, let me tell you. I can't believe that you haven't kicked them yet. They are big enough you definately won't miss them.
 
I just want to say that you look absolutely stunning in the road trip pictures! Talk about not looking your age!!
I hope you work everything out with your boss. I would have mixed feelings. He might really admire you, but then again, he might be taking advantage of you too. Anyhow, good luck!

Hey! here's an idea. let her hang out with your dog sitter and watch that enlightening station and i bet he won't let her near you!}(


jes:p
 
Laura, you need to do something about that. You did not get your Master's to be a glorified babysitter. Of course, if this is your contribution to the upbringing of the next generation,... well what the heck?

Although, that in itself is a very scary thought.:eek: the next generation...

Ditto to what Missy said. I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, but your boss has figured out that he can walk all over you and it looks like his kid is figuring that out that she can too.

You mentioned in some previous posts that this guy was a friend. A friend wouldn't impose and take advantage the way this guy is.
 
You guys are great. And funny too. :+

Not sure how to stop it without hurting her feelings. She's a cute kid & I don't want to scar her for life or anything LOL.

Yeah the guy completely takes advantage of me. But how do I tell him to shove it without threating my position or future salary increases?
 
Laura,

We're all adults, right? How does he know he is taking advantage of you until you tell him? That's why communication is so important. You don't have to tell him to shove it. I've noticed that typically, you have no problem with being assertive. Why can't you just tell him that as a paid employee, you don't feel babysitting his daughter is part of your job?

Honestly, it's your responsibility. If you don't confront him with how you feel about this, you shouldn't complain. YOU'VE already made the choice that the future salary increases are more important than confronting him.

JMHO
 
Well jeez Candi, I'm sorry if my complaining bothers you, but I'm certainly not willing to risk my job & future raises over it. Maybe it sounds easy to you, but confronting the man I work for, who has proven himself to be selfish, immature & self serving, about something like this definitely gives me pause.

Future salary increases are more important than confronting him, losing my job, or risking him making my life miserable for it.
