[quote=Anonymous]My healthy boundaries include not discussing my personal life with my employers. I pleasantly answer their personal questions with vague answers and change the conversation by asking a question about my charges. Another boundary is in stopping job creep by reminding them, again pleasantly, that what they are asking is not part of my job and nothing I have time for during my work day. Sure, I do favors from time to time and will always help out in an emergency - but I will not have unrealistic "chores" added to my work day nor accept my employers being late on a day-to-day basis silently. In keeping myself in check, I remember that these are NOT my children and this job will end some day - no one has a nanny for life. I may question her request or add a suggestion to something the MB wants me to do for the children once but, in the end, what she wants is law. [/quote]
