What? Why would you expect that?

I’m in a group for nannies and there is a woman complaining because she started her period, texted the mother to tell her that she started her period, and the mother didn’t acknowledge her text. She went on to say she expected something like “oh, that stinks. Or man I feel ya” but she’s upset because the mom didn’t respond.

Am I missing something? I only told my boss one time when I had my period and it was only because it was the first one after my first miscarriage and it was so incredibly painful I couldn’t go to work. And even then I only told her because I couldn’t come in.

It is normal to tell your boss you’re on your period?

No, lol. How odd.

That's really weird. Why would she tell her boss she had her period? Was she expecting a parade or something?

Not in my world and I am a recruiter.

I guess so!

It seems odd to me, perhaps the two had discussed a possible pregnancy and this news would have changed it?

Sounds like she wants to be buddies, and the mom isn’t interested. How weird though.

Odd, in 20+ years of employment, NO boss or co-worker would know that about me!!

Hmm, not sure. She didn’t mention anything like that.

Hmm I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s it, I personally try to keep it as professional as possible with the family I work for....it’s just easier that way.
