told off SIL

ok mind me it was in a text message but....she took the day off today and i knew about it but failed to ask my dad, so then my dad gets mad at me because she did nt ask him for the day so i sent her a nasty text saying that Dad was pissed at her and that we are not her messenger and she has to learn to ask him first...and was like you better make things straight beccause now we have to deal with his bad mood

** Pls bring me up to speed**

Does you SIL work for your dad? If so, then it was her responsiblity as an employee to inform your dad of a 'needed day off'

Pls clarify if I have the story wrong!

Re: told off SIL

Has this been a pattern with her?

What I see is that she is in a 'comfort zone'? To her, their is no need to formally ask for the day because she works for 'family'. You have to speak with her and lay down the law. Tell her you are not the middle man when it comes to giving notice. And, also she needs to clear the air with your dad and apologize for the unprofessional behavior.

Re: told off SIL

It sounds like it was a long time coming to tel her off. Hopefully, she will take you seriously and know to back down

What is your dad saying?Is he fed up with her unprofessionalism?
