[quote=Anonymous]OP, I did similar but don't live-in. 9a-5p/6p, 4x/d/wk.

Both parents work at home now. The father just smokes in his office and watches tv and the mom works out and hides in her bedroom. They don't necessarily get along and give me conflicting instructions over food, milk, etc. ex: The mom is adamant they receive milk with every meal and the dad is strongly anti-milk.

The mother is more undermining now that she is home and is angry that I was resistant to taking the kids to the local museum and play places all the way through last Friday.

Now that they have been out of school, they are stir-crazy despite hours and hours of playing outside and she still doesn't want any screen time. She was mad I had a nature documentary on in the background while prepping lunch.

I've also spent the last few weeks being hit in the face, pinched, spit on, etc, by the children and not being allowed to discipline or correct in any way because the parents don't approve of literally anything other than indulgence and coddling and have cameras everywhere.

The kids have also noticed that being destructive and hurting people gets them actual engagement and attention from the parents.

The parents also had constant complaints and "corrections" such as when I put their lunches into the refrigerator because they wouldn't stop throwing it at the wall and she wanted them to be cuddled and hand fed in my lap. They are both four and know better.  They also don't want to see any mess or prep in their all-white house. Normally it is cleaned before they arrive home.

Most importantly, they were exposed to people returning from a hotspot this past Monday/weekend and lied about it, are now refusing to pay the last two weeks, and refused to address anything I brought up to them like nearly constantly being 30-45min late returning home without any notice or consideration for my schedule.

The children then began coughing constantly, had low fevers and were generally under the weather and then the parents did, all in the space of basically 1-2 days.

I left and have refused to come back. I'm much happier. I hope you leave also.

I am livid and fuming that I was likely exposed. My contact with them was the only outside contact anyone in my home has had in weeks so if we are ill, it is from them.

The mom's response to all of this was that if I was infected, so were they and why wouldn't I still come in and work for them...[/quote]
