[quote=Anonymous]This is no big deal, but I do find it throwing me off a lot and wanted to get some perspective.  Just for context, I work part-time for a SAHM with somewhat limited mobility so that she can do errands sans kids and so kids can have some really active mornings that are hard for her to keep up with.  My MB is a planner by nature, and (over)analyzes everything, which is fine, whatever.  I do find it frustrating though that she often seems to have a lot of trouble making a decision on something (little stuff), and I am just not always up to discussing it for 30 minutes and/or it's time sensitive and I need her to just pick something so I can do what needs to be done.

E.g., I will show up and she will tell me that she's trying to decide whether she should do her workout before or after the grocery store and I will be trying to listen politely, etc., when I am really trying to feed the kids breakfast and unload the DW and pack snacks for our outing and I just want to say, "do whatever, but I need to focus on my job right now."  Another one that happens a lot will be when I say, "We can do X, Y Z today if we leave right now, or we can just do QRS, if you want us to have a more low-key day and she will waffle back and forth and ask for my opinion and come up with 3 other ideas for the day, etc. and I am thinking, "The clock is ticking!"

I think she partly just likes having someone to talk to, and probably I just need to deal or whatever, but I just wondered if anyone had any tips on how to politely phrase a request to "poop or get off the pot" lol.[/quote]
