[quote=Anonymous]Maybe a few of us lucky enough to have the best employers. I just changed jobs. My previous full time job was kind of like almost no downtime. 45 hours/week on the go with 3 kids. When the youngest one was in preschool for 2.5 hours a day I always had something to do. I never complained. It was kind of normal. And anyway I always love to work and being busy. I only got annoyed when I hardly had time to go to the bathroom in the summer because somebody was always yelling after me. But that was also ok with me. UNTIL I got a new job.. I still have hard time to believe in my luck. Also 3 kids but all school aged. It is also full time. 40 hours and 2$ higher hourly rate then the previous one. Since I started to work I never worked 40 hours/week. But It is always paid. My previous employer didn't let me off the hook even 5 minutes earlier. I was ok with that. But now I see how big the difference between employer and employer. With family 2 I also do some housework and also cook dinner. every night they invite me to sit down to eat with them. I politely refuse it BUT it feels good. The other family never ever invited me to sit down with them. Family 2 told me when I finish with everything I can freely use my laptop because they know I'm studying toward my master's degree. I never do it BUT that feels good too. AND because I feel like they appreciate in every way how I make their life easier I also started to do things that wasn't in the contract. Just showing them how much I also appreciate them. [/quote]
