My boss came to me for advice all the time. He knew I had the experience that he didn’t. He wasn’t afraid to ask for help…especially if he needed to fire someone.
Wow! I never thought about this until now, but I actually was the youngest person in the department when I first became a manager. And, some of the folks were older than my parents. Well, at least I tried VERY hard to be a good boss.

“Mommy” not ready yet for the Kids to be in charge? Next she will be picking out a “Rest Home” for you Rita.

Rita is not right, but I can totally understand her feeling.

My manager is a decade younger than I am – I’d rather leave someone else dealing with the politics and managing staff than do it myself

I’m old enough to be my bosses’ father.

Don’t start a second career. I retired from the Army and then went into teaching. All the administrators are young enough to be my children.

I cried the first time a kid I babysat had a kid of their own! And now I’m a great-great auntie (thanks a lot BFF’s daughter! LOL)

And now comes the reckoning. Just what kind of babysitter was Rita?
