Was I in the wrong?

Nanny has worked with us for 4 years and the past year has been eventful. She developed crohns and my husband and I separated. She now works between our two homes.
My ex and I are not on good terms at the minute.

Today my nanny texted to say she had a migraine and wouldn't be able to work. She was meant to be at my ex's house but he wasn't answering her call. These were the texts -

Her-Hi Jen. Been sick and have a terrible migraine so won't be able to work today. I know I am meant to be at Mark's but can't get hold of him so thought I would let you know.

Me- Oh you poor thing. Hope you feel better soon.

Me- Can you let me know when Mark replies to you please? So I know whether to go and pick Archie (child) up from school?

She then took ages to respond and finally said-

'Jen. I am not feeling well. I texted you as I needed you to try and get hold of Mark to make him aware of the situation and my being ill. I don't want to be the go between. Please can you sort this between you today?'

Who was out of line here? I am pretty shocked.

馃馃 I personally think she over reacted. First if all she is been with you for 4 years, and you simply asked her to text you when she hears from your ex. Something doesn't sounds right. Sick or not sick that's not how you speak to your boss. Something isn't right 馃馃馃

@Awfullybrave I know. It's very rude.

@Jenni855 Is she normally rude? Is that normal behaviour?

@Awfullybrave No. She is very shy normally and sweet 馃槓

@Jenni855 how did it end up with your ex? I think maybe you need to have a word with her when you see her but I would investigate a bit further if I was you
