[quote=Anonymous]Im up early with pregnancy insomnia and hormones pondering this question and considering letting my long term babysitter go because of it!

My situation is that we have had the same middle aged, divorced babysitter for two days a week for three years now as I work part time. She has gotten very comfortable with our family, to the point that she knows a lot of the family drama situation as we know hers and is very entrenched in our lives. She regularly talks my ear off upon arriving at 8am (I have to be at work at 9 after dropping a child at preschool!) and then stays comfortable on the couch or kitchen table when I arrive home from work if my husband isn't home yet or if he has to take our older son to an activity. This behavior has been annoying me for some time but I trust her with the kids and she is very reliable. Also, I feel bad for her as she was a long term SAHM and one daughter no longer talks to her and husband divorced her suddenly about 4 years ago. Not my problem, I know.

Yesterday, she stayed plunked at my house for an HOUR after I came home just talking to me and hanging out with my kids and I before my husband got home. I am exhausted and defeated! I don't want to talk to her at the end of my work days, nor do I want to shush my children so that the babysitter can tell her rambling stories during our limited time together on my work days.

Would you find new childcare due to this? Or am I being too sensitive?

Children are preschool aged and first grade. Thanks! [/quote]
