[quote=Anonymous]OP, you've been with them a long time - don't you have a relationship w/ the MB where you can sit down and talk things through w/ her?

I would just say that you are noticing pretty consistently that the kids behave very differently when she's around because they're seeking her attention etc... and it's making things more difficult for you and impacting their behavior.  Then I'd ask for her help and make a few suggestions about thinks you think would be useful.  The kids sound old enough to understand being in told that Mommy is working and you are in charge, even if Mommy is in the house.  They can understand that they are not to bother Mommy when she's working (and maybe come up w/ a signal for that - a little sign on the door of her office or something).  And then the mother can help support those rules by not encouraging them, telling them that she is working and you are in charge, etc...

You need to just talk with her and work out a plan.

If she is unwilling or unable to work with you on these things (or see them as a problem) then it might be time for you tell them this is no longer such a great fit and you'll probably start looking for something closer to the original arrangement you had with them for 4 years.

Good luck.
