[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RobareHenderson]Thank you! My husband works in the restaurant industry and work retail. So crazy hours! Unfortunately a live in Nanny would not work in our small apartment in NE. What kind of questions should we be asking during interviews? Again, at a loss.   [/quote]

sorry I don't mean to sound bad or judgmental ( I work too and have kids), but can one of you change job at least for a while and have more normal hours? if you really are out of the house 8am to 11 pm, not only you will pay a fortune for child care (you will need two nannies probably), but you will never see your child (and what's worse your child will never see his parents). can you do it?[/quote]

Agreed. I too want to say this as gently as possible, (a lot of parents get a ton of unnecessary flames for their work hours) but in addition to PPs concerns about getting to see your child, this schedule sounds really unsustainable when you add an infant on top of it. Not sleeping much at night and then working those kinds of hours sounds like a recipe for burn out.

Many of the parents I've worked for decided to stagger their work hours so that they each get more time with the kids, and can cut down on how many child care hours they need. Is that at all possible for you and DH?[/quote]
