Today I picked up the boys from early start school. There was a mix up and only the transportation people knew I was coming and they teachers were clueless. So I showed ID and asked them to look in the records or to call the Mama or the Daddy and they would tell them who I am. It was the first time picking them up, I get the problems. No big deal
But this one teacher pissed me off. Actually, I was more than just a little butt hurt over her comment. "She's picking them up? She's just the babysitter." And I corrected her "The Nanny" so she answers "whatever".
Bitch, I am way more than JUST a babysitter.
A babysitter is a 15 year old that you underpay to watch your kids so you can go out to dinner. A day care worker is someone who watches as many children as they can to make as much money as they can. A Nanny is someone who commits to loving and caring for the child/children in their charge.
I was asked to Nanny Cade and Jack before their parents started trying to have children. They wanted to make sure their kid/kids were going to be in a loving environment w/ someone who would love them as if they were their own.
I couldn't love these boys any more if they were mine. I have dashed to the MaMa's side to help her when it got tough. I have spent entire days just holding one w/ a 103 fever. I have been pooped on, puked on, peed on and bled on. I hurt more when they fall when than they do. I would rip my own heart out to save theirs.
BITCH, I AM NOT JUST A BABYSITTER!
I may be tattooed and pierced and wear a "I run w/ Vampires" Tshirt, but I am Cade and Jack's Nanny, and I can kick your ass. Next time, I will come at you sideways and put you in your place.

WOOHOO!!! Next time smack her upside her head.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I will!
ReplyDeleteLol I just made a huge post and accidentally deleted it. You did the right thing today by letting it go. You proved how dedicated you are to the boys by behaving in a way that would not reflect poorly on their parents or you. There is nothing to be done for ill mannered and judgmental people except hope you meet them in a dark isolated alley someday. They will learnhow important you are to the boys when they see how happy they are to see you. Just smile and ignore. I believe @ladygrl calls it cool disdain. Fuck them, you are awesome.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I feel much better now. I'm glad I kept it together, there was a time when I would have gone off.
ReplyDeleteOoh, she was a bitch! You showed mighty restraint not decking her.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely more than a babysitter. Anybody can see that you love those kids as if they were your own. To say otherwise, or to undervalue you is just ridiculous.
