[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP here. I'm kind of confused of the answers. Now I know why the humane race is in trouble. Sorry to inform you but I'm good what I'm doing. But never been in this situation before. I already helped planting the garden with the kids. EVEN the parents ask my gardening advices. The parents DON'T want me to baking sweets with the kids:-(. The father is working from home. And basically we have to ask permission for everything. He tells me he doesn't want to exhaust the kids before the practice. From 8-12 I have to finish up the house chores and studying with the kids. I TEACH the kids to be part of the chores. They are old enough for that. BECAUSE whatever job I have with kids I ALWAYS try to teach them about life. BUT If the parents don't help me out what can I do?

Just picture the next situation they come home from a vacation. Their flight got cancelled. The kids are up since 5AM. The mom was working from home that day. The youngest one is totally out of control. He is hysterical that he wants to be with his mom. Everybody is on a short fuse. I try to be calm between the mountain load of laundry... Raining outside and 3 kids stretched to the end. I started to saw with the oldest one, making a puzzle with the middle one and reading with the youngest one. This was one of the day when it was 0 willingness from their part to cooperate. If you read it well my post I said I'm not at all a TV person. BUT every once a while it helps to sit down a good movie where we can settle the nerves and laugh together on some silliness. When I left yesterday I heard the father telling the kids "I see how tired you are guys lets watch some movie and have popcorn." He was supposed to spend only 2 hours with his kids.....

And just for a side note, today we went for cray fishing:-) It was fun. Sometimes some people come here just to vent a little. Maybe we just had a bad "hair day".

And sincerely how many of you is able to spend 9 straight hours with 3 kids ( everyone of them wants all your attention ) per day basically without any adult interaction. ( I only pick up my phone if it is very must.... rarely texting and never online) Because I keep the family rules and my professional rules.
