I'm an au pair and the family I work has been away out of London for a long weekend since Friday.
On Monday the boiler was acting up and Tuesday it broke down completely. So Mum has a new baby and a toddler decided to stay where she was and not come home until it's fixed since there is no central heating or hot water.
Today I got a text asking me to Travel out of London to help her with the children with the kids for one day. She has family where she is and she doesn't want to have to cope. Nor has she offered to book a ticket for me to go to them. I think she's really just being unreasonable. At one point she wanted me to stay in cold house to do the weekly cleaning and then said oh well it didn't make sense until the weekend. She's expecting me travel out of London and then come back on Friday to do the cleaning when she gets back.
I'm trying to think of polite way to say no but I just think this is the final straw with this job and I'm going hand in my notice on Monday.
