[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- My MB is one of those moms who is basically obsessed with her child. She will even say it herself. She is not interested in me doing any kind of cleaning around the house (even if I put a couple of their dishes in the dishwasher for me she playfully "scolds" me) unless if it relates directly to the child (cleaning bottles, keeping toy room cleaned, and disinfecting all toys/highchair on a regular basis). She really wants me focusing on him all day.

My charge is 14 months old. My MB is very interested in him getting adequate outside time (we are expected to spend at least some time outside everyday), she wants me to be 1-on-1 and interacting with him all day everyday (I literally spend zero time on the couch), she values the play dates that I set up and facilitate for him, she wants me doing activities and "crafts" with him (finger painting, play-doh, sensory bin with jello, etc) on a regular basis, and she really values that I engage him and work with him learning new words and other age appropriate things such as talking about colors, numbers, shapes, ABCs, etc. I have no problem doing these things and am happy to do so.

At this point I do not have a car seat for him in my car and do not have permission to drive him anywhere. If I were able to drive him places then I would love to be active with him in the community going to the park, library, etc., but that is just not an option at this time.

I try to be accommodating and flexible in terms of scheduling. I have a set schedule where I work 43 hours per week between Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. She occasionally asks if I am available to switch days though she always lets me know that it is never mandatory to switch. I end up agreeing to the switch about 3/4 of the time. I have offered to come into work early when I know that she needs to leave the house extra early and have also offered to come in on Saturdays during the day if they need me.
