[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the others that the pay cut sounds entirely reasonable.  What exactly did MB say about baby's care - you said she told you that she didn't want her kids to have to work around the baby's schedule.  That seems reasonable.  You then go on to say that you have to give the school age kids your constant undivided attention and that your baby's care will always have to come second - did she actually tell you this?  It is one thing to say that the older kids don't have to give up their normal activities because they would interfere with baby's nap.  It is entirely different if she is truly saying you can't expect them to play by themselves while you feed, change, sooth baby.  If you are really considering staying, I think you need to talk to MB about exactly what her expectations are?  To me, baby doesn't dictate schedule is reasonable, baby always comes second is not.

Honestly, as you point out yourself, the vast difference in ages makes this challenging, and it might be better for you to pursue one of the other avenues you mentioned.  One thing to think about though is whether/how much of your paid time will be while the kids are in school.  If both kids are in school FT and 30+ of your 50 hours are without them, that makes it a lot less problematic to have to keep baby on their schedule.  Of course,  [/quote]
