How much do you get paid? I wouldn't take this job for less than $40/hr. Sounds hideous. |

Not fake and it is not a schedule it is what he is doing this week next week or even tomorrow could be different. Though his big sister was a super easy baby like this throughout infancy the others not so much it is what it is |
