[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally agree with you OP!! I just posted almost the same thread yesterday about getting to work super early while Mom and baby sleep in!! Just bc she is paying you she thinks she can take FULL advantage of your time... I, like you, would rather leave early rather than sit and watch her kids while she's home.. I  a mother myself and would never have someone at my house to watch my child while I was there. From the moment I walk in my house it is play time with my daughter. Good luck with this situation, I def. know how you feel and that is why I'm giving my notice in 2 weeks![/quote]

OP situation is totally different from PP situation.  PP - you are literally sitting there doing nothing while the baby and mom sleep.  Not the same thing as if you were taking care of the baby while mom still slept.

OP - I'm an MB and I think it's really sad that your MB sits with a glass of wine while you take care of her kids, however, I also think you are completely wrong for complaining about it.  If you feel sorry for the children or you feel they are being neglected it's fine if you want to ask advice about what to do but you are getting paid fairly so MB can do whatever she wants while she is paying you.

And before everyone jumps on the MB for "neglecting" her children, you have no idea what she is going through with her divorce and now she is suddenly a single parent.  I love my children more than anything in this world and wouldn't change my life for anything but having children is exhausting and I'm not a single parent.  I'm tired when I come home from work but I am "on" the second I walk through the door.  I let the nanny leave as soon as I get home but I can't even change my clothes until my husband gets home.  At least if I need to take a shower or pay bills or make a phone call in the evening he is there to watch them.  I can't imagine doing it as a single parent.  So maybe she needs that time to decompress when she gets home, maybe she feels like she has time on the weekends to be with the children when she isn't exhausted and can give them full attention.  I'm not making excuses for her, just trying to see all possibilities.  In any case, in regards to OP it doesn't really matter.  You're getting paid fairly to do a job.  Do it and don't complain or find another job but no job is going to be perfect and employers won't look kindly on you if you have had multiple jobs that you left.[/quote]
