[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m done at 8 pm so you need to be in your room at 8 pm. Don’t have to sleep but you need to be independent while I sleep. [/quote]

My college kid is still at work for another hour or more after that, then needs dinner and a shower!  I like my sleep as well as the next person, but it’s unreasonable to expect everyone in the house - especially other adults - to run on my schedule.  As long as they’re trying to be respectful, I’ll return the favor. [/quote]

I’m a nanny I take care of 4 people ages 13, 15, 25 and 50. I work 7 days a week 5 am to 8 pm. I’m done at 8 I have to be able to sleep, shower and eat myself so I can take care of these 4 people. Thankfully they are respectful for the most part of my time. Yes I get an occasional knock on my door at 10 pm saying I’m hungry but I give lots of warnings. Kitchen is closing soon.[/quote]

None of these people can get their own food from the kitchen? Are they disabled? We’re talking about college age adult children. I’m so confused. [/quote]

No not disabled. No they don’t get their own food, ever. I wait on them from sun up to sun down .[/quote]

And you also are able to dictate that they need to stay in their room after 8 pm when you go to bed? This is all very bizarre. [/quote]

The dad doesn’t want to have to do it or hire someone else to work 8-5 am. So everyone is done at 8. [/quote]

You should do an AMA because everything about this situation is weird AF[/quote]

I don’t think I want to know any more about this. [/quote]
