Exhausted Mom Snaps at Nanny for Disturbing Her Nap

Being a mom of two young kids is no easy task, especially when your partner is away on a business trip. One exhausted mom found herself in this exact situation, struggling to juggle the needs of her 5-year-old and 2-month-old while her husband was away. Desperate for a break, she asked her nanny to come in for a few hours so she could catch up on some much-needed sleep. But when her nap was interrupted for a non-emergency, she couldn’t help but snap at her nanny.
