[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just tell her that the  kids’ schedules (feeding, naptime etc.) are growing apart and it’s not working anymore. Give her two or three weeks and say you can’t wait to see her over a weekend sometime for an adult catch up. [/quote]

OP here. This is also true.

My son is a schedule. He sleeps 7pm-7am at night and takes 3 naps at 9-10, 12-2, and 4-4:30/5. Her baby will last 1:45-2 hours and often times I have to delay putting my son down for a nap because her baby needs to go to sleep. He will scream and cry until he falls asleep. I never get a break because he will take shorter naps and wake up when my son is still sleeping. It’s exhausting. My husband works from home and he has told me to tell her no. He can see how unhappy the situation is making me, and feels like our son is getting less attention ( which is part of the reason I decided to stay home instead of going back to work). He says it’s not our problem and just to give them two weeks notice and say I can’t do it anymore. [/quote]

OP here. I watch her baby 3 days a week. The other two days ( without my husband) go much more smoothly. My baby gets more of my attention and I get a break. [/quote]
