[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you are wrong.  She hired you to work form 7 to 7 and that is what you're doing.  There is nothing wrong with fact that she comes home early or takes a day off sometimes and still wants you to handle the kids.  Maybe she is ill.  Maybe she has other personal business to attend to, such as divorce-related issues.  Maybe she just needs some alone time at the end of the day.  Unless she is hovering over you interfering with the way you do the job, it really isn't for you to judge how she spends her time.

It's odd and sad that the mother does not want to put her kids to bed when she is home, but how often does that really happen?  If it is a regular occurrence, my guess would be that she is either depressed or alcoholic or both.  In that case, you might try mentioning to her that the kids seem to to be struggling and they might be missing time with her at the end of the day.  Say you know she is busy and stressed and would it help if you were to work (and get paid for) an extra half hour every day so she can have some alone time before putting the kids to bed herself.  Depending on her response, you could also try letting the soon-to-be-ex know that she seems disconnected from the kids and that you are concerned for them.  But if it comes to that, be prepared to look for a new job, because if he confronts her or uses what you say to help him win custody, she'll hate you.

This is bad advice. You can say the kids are struggling if they are, but don't be MB's therapist or contact her soon to be ex.[/quote]
