[quote=Anonymous]It maks a big difference whether she is asking you to step in or if you are doing it voluntarily because you see her struggling. What are you doing durig her time with the kids? Napping? Working out? I work right now for a SAHM with 2.5 yo twins and an infant. I can absolutely handle all three, but if the twins are having a double meltdown and baby needs to eat and mom is nearby flipping through a magazine, of COURSE I will ask if she minds finishing the feed so that I can handle toddlers more efficiently. If she wasn't around, I would have to set baby down mid-feed, which might mean a smaller feed overall which can throw off baby's routine, but I would do it and get back to baby as soon as I could. If mom is going to be around visibly lounging, then the best thing for the kids is to use her as a resource when I need another pair of hands for 30 seconds.[/quote]
