Okay, I had work today, which is fine and I rely on my folks to watch my son. They were willing and considering I pay them rent and a lot of things too (I help a lot here), they don't mind that much. It is not like I go out a lot or do retarded things.

Well, today my dad got extremely ill and had to go to the doctors. My mom took me to work and said she will take my son with her. She assumed it would not be that bad but it was frustrating. I get a call at work telling me my dad has to go to the hospital and if I can come home to watch my son. I asked the other keyholder (who worked in the morning) to cover for me at night and have the other girl come in two hours early. It was not a HUGE deal because we close at 9, and she was only living at 6, plus she wants extra hours so she can make rent... She refused!! She said she has laundry to do and even though she needs the hours, she hates working 12 hours.

Now, mind you this girl hates working in generally. She is a keyholder, which equals an asst manager position... She is already on the shit list of the district and the manager (who we are all friends with). The reason they don't fire her is because they don't want her to get unemployment, plus she does her job, even though it is limited to what she does. There is ground to fire her but it would be a hassle to do so. I was like my dad in the hospital, I am not sure what is going on and for all I know he could be in a deadly situation. She could careless. She went on how no one ever covers for her (which is a lye) and pity me attitude.

I called my boss, who is 6 months pregnant and she said she will come in for me BUT is pissed at the coworker for not staying. It was her first day off in over a week and she needed it. I felt horrible but there was no one around to watch my son, and I did not want him going to the hospital. Plus, I would have no one to pick me up and it would be a mess. And just in case if something happens, my son will not be in the middle of it. He is only 10 months old.

I was pissed and upset that she only cared about herself... She said to another keyholder that she liked us all and all that jazz. What a lie!!! I would have covered for her!!! Even with my son. So, now everyone is pissed at her for being selfish and now everyone is making her work on her own for a few hours until they get in. My boss said that she blames her totally and not me. She knows I would have stayed for anyone in that situation. She is just being a bitch and it shows by her attitude.

This entire thing all has to do with our sales associate (who has a busy life) that cannot work for her on her demand. Yeah, not because of any of us but because of him. Even he gave me sympathy and tried to come in but he has another job (at night). Yes, he is a little bit of a dick sometimes BUT when he works, he works. He has his moments but he is not horrible, not compared to her.

Do you think she was in the wrong? I am wondering what everyone's opinions are of the situation.
