Am I crazy? Or is this unacceptable?

It may be that she and the baby are up during the night and she may not know how late the baby is going to sleep until he wakes up. She is not going to know the night before when the baby will wake up-- and she probably doesn't want to wake up to text you that maybe the baby will sleep later. She probably has a flexible job where it is great to get into work early if baby is awake, but if baby sleeps later, she can too. Don't judge a new mom about getting as much sleep as she can-- just get a key and tidy up the kitchen.

+1. You definitely need a key. If the sleeping in thing happens every day, then ask to change your hours. But since it is an occasional thing, understand that the the baby's sleep schedule is unpredictable and the parents are paying you to come early specifically so they have the flexibility to sleep in after a rough night with the baby. Nothing wrong with that.

I would just lie down on the sofa and go back to sleep.

Now that's what I call "easy money." LOL.

Count yourself lucky. I worked for a nasty family too that left junk all over every evening, and the weekends were the worst. I loved though how I would have to be at work by 5:30-6am and mom would not leave until 7:30. Of course though as soon as I walked through the door she would go and literally shake her kids awake
