Feeling Overwhelmed
Sorry in advance this is kong or confusing my head is all over the place.
I work between 2 families at the moment. And im just feeling so overwhelmed by it all. For three days of the week i work for my main family a set 8 hr shift. For the other i work two days a week and it’s usually only a 5-6 hr shift or whatever they need.
MB 2 messaged me this morning asking me to work two extra days this week that i usually don’t work with her. I politely said no because i already have set days with Family 1 and then she got a little upset (from how i took it but this was all over text) and said she had mentioned it to me before. I genuinely do not recall this happening at all but if she did i may have misunderstood because they are going out of town next week and maybe i misunderstood it?
So i texted Grandma from Family 1 (She recommended me for this job and is someone I’ve known since i was a kid) to see if potentially she could switch with me as we have done that in the past. And she said no she couldn’t, and i told her no worries. But then she started texting me full on paragraphs about how if i start canceling too much they can let me go because she knows from experience from previous nannies they have had. Which just put so much stress on me, and then i just kept it short and she still kept sending paragraph after paragraph.
I did mention it to DB in case it got brought up, and he must have said something to her because then she started texting me that now he was mad at her and all this stuff. And genuinely after i put baby down for nap i just had a big cry about it all.
