[quote=Anonymous]Took a summer job with a mom on maternity leave and her toddler and newborn.  We are just not a great fit.  She is very nice and respectful, etc., but a) just really does jot trust me or my judgement on anything and b) micromanages me a lot.  I feel like they think I am lax about safety.  They were concerned that I let the toddler stand on a scooter at the park without a helmet (despite my mentioning that he was just standing on it to push the horn, not actually in motion), they were concerned that I let him eat blueberries without cutting them in half (he is almost 3), and MB had asked that I always keep a blanket between the baby and my skin/clothes to protect him from my scent (despite the fact that I use zero scented products and shower daily).

It's a short term gig that I am not planning to leave, but I just feel very bored (since there is no initiative; I do only what I am told and do not vary from my orders), and discouraged (all my other families have LOVED me, but they seem to just think I'm okay).  I find myself literally counting the minutes until quitting time, when at every other job I have loved being at work.[/quote]
