[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just checking ... You're getting paid OT for all the extra time, right? And you're getting a good hourly rate? (I'm not saying either of these excuse their behavior, I'm just wondering exactly how inconsiderate they're being ...)[/quote]

OP here. Yes I am getting OT and am happy with my hourly rate. I am being fairly compensated for all of the extra hours I put in, but after all of these long weeks I am starting to feel that no amount of money is going to make me feel better about having no time for myself and all of the plans I've had to miss out on. I feel as if none of my time is actually my own, since I am unable to plan anything during the week, as I never know when I will be leaving work. I got this job right after I moved to a brand new city and I don't think I need to remind anyone here how lonely it can be working as a nanny (long story short I HAVE NO FRIENDS) . I don't blame them for the fact that I don't have many friends here, but I do think they realize this and therefor think it's okay to keep me at work all day and night\ they think I have no life outside of work.

If things don't change soon I will have to figure something else out for work because I just cannot continue putting in these types of hours. I feel unhealthy and unhappy. I would rather keep my job than quit, I just can't figure out a way to demonstrate these feelings without coming across as bitchy and miserable. My first discussion with her did not make any difference at all, so what I really want is some advice on how I should handle this next talk with her.

Please, anyone who has had this problem or a similar unhappiness with long unagreed upon hours/tardiness WHAT DID YOU DO?[/quote]

I don't understand what you want to hear, OP.  Yes, I was in a similar situation and I sat down with my employers and told them, point blank, that things must change or I would have to resign.  There are no other options but to simply quit.  People have been posting that you must give a polite ultimatum and be ready to follow through on it.  There is not magic answer.  Talk or quit.
