[quote=Anonymous]You must be a troll.

She asked you for an umbrella stroller for the bus? I carry a two year old on my back every day and I still asked for the same, that's such a reasonable request!

What do you care what her life is like outside of work? For all you know she's hitting up frat parties every weekend and says "sleep" when you ask just to maintain her professional boundaries. Or maybe her entire apartment is an enormous canvas she paints on; maybe she doesn't do crafts with your son bc she's worried about the mess. Basically it could be anything. Stop judging her personal life that you know fuck all about.

The only part of your question that is even remotely reasonable is regarding your son's daily schedule. If you think it is too regimented, think what you'd like him to do instead. Figure out what would be good for him to participate in, at home or in a class. Then talk to her. "Marcy, as Johnny gets bigger we are very excited for him to broaden his horizons. We thought x,y,z would be great for you to do together - what do you think? And do you have any other ideas?" You may find her perfectly willing and able to adapt once you've provided some management, or you may find that she no longer meets your son's needs as he ages, but you'll base that on her work performance after you're communicating clearly with her; not based on your idea of how creative she is or something bizarre like that.[/quote]
