[quote=Anonymous]OP, you said you and your neighbor live in a gated community.  That indicates to me that this family can afford to hire help with the morning madness.  With newborn twins and two other kids to get ready and off to school in the morning, I bet they could really use a part time  nanny in the mornings to get their family together, at least for a six month time span or so.

I am not a naturally diplomatic person, but I would want to approach twin mom and ask if they have considered hiring someone to help them out in the mornings.  Act all sympathetic about the craziness they must be enduring right now.  Maybe twin mom will get the hint that it is time to think about hiring someone instead of expecting your to continually help her out.

If she doesn't get the hint, then I would tell her I would be willing to do this favor for 6 weeks only.  Give a specific end date.  Tell her you have commitments and that this favor you have been doing for her for several weeks is having a negative impact on your job and that you are not willing to put your job in jeopardy.
