I have asked them many times to at least leave an outdoor light on for me, as I see it as a safety issue.
My MB will oblige for a week or two and then the lights go off again.
Is this an unreasonable request? Am I requesting too much?

If it is such a safety issue you would have taken care of it yourself by now, a flashlight, a keychain light, your iPhone light, etc. You are an adult (supposedly), please act like one.

Have you ever worked, PP? I mean held an actual job? I would no more walk to my place of employment without adequate lighting and safe conditions than I would fly to the moon!!! I work in a hospital and you better believe we all (men and women both) have brightly lit walkways and parking lots when we arrive at work in the dark. I assure you all of the doctors, nurses and staff employed at our hospital are adults.

Of course a nanny should have the same safe and comfortable working conditions at her place of employment.

I agree, nanny should go to college and get a real job. She deserves to have a light on!

What a cruel, hurtful thing to say. Does it make you feel better about yourself to say such awful things to people?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Since you're so concerned about my education level, I have a master's degree. I've been a nanny for 10 years and earn more than most of the people who graduated with me. This isn't a job, it is my career and I am damn good at it.

Yet you need someone to hold your hand to walk from your car to the house? Too bad they didn't offer a masters in common sense.

I'll bet it took a while for you to come up with that one. Ouch...you really got me.

Asking for adequate lighting isn't needing one's hand held.
Would you walk in a dark parking lot alone?

I'm sure people are sitting outside of houses in nice neighborhoods waiting to rape the nannies walking to work. @@

Since the way you describe it sounds more like an issue of forgetfulness, rather than refusal, why don't you ask them if they'd be willing to install a motion activated light?

THey're quite cheap and easy to install and that might solve the whole problem.

No it isn't.

Considering that your Mom Boss actually complies shows you that it isn't.

I think what is happening is that your Mom Boss doesn't realize how much of a priority it is for you personally to have the lights on. The next time you talk to her, try stressing that due to safety concerns, it is vital that these lights be on.

When she sees just how important it is to you, she will most likely comply more.

She probably just thought it was a "little" request per say.

Good luck.

Because it is obvious from OPs post she is petrified of the boogyman. She want's lights all the way from her car to the house as she seems to park far away. There is nothing this family can do to help or accommodate this woman other than paying for counseling sessions with a psychiatrist.

I'm afraid of stepping in dog shit or a hole and twisting my ankle. Both are reason enough for me.

A porch light isn't going to help you see dog shit as you walk from your car 500ft away.... Buy a flashlight like you were told.
