[quote=Anonymous]My charges are 6 & 4 I'm with them from 7:45 to 6:45 pm sometimes 6:30. There are no camps or anything signed up for the rest of the summer.  The 4 yr old naps for 2 hours daily. At first mb said 6 yr could read or play quietly in her room for a little while during resting time. Most of the time she asks if she can sleep & I have to explain she won't get to nap when school starts and mb doesn't want her to actually nap.  She likes to lay down for a few minutes ( I'm fine with it because she will get cranky and patient with her brother if she doesn't)
During the 2 hours I'd use 30 minutes cleaning the kitchen from bfast and lunch then prepare my own ( constantly up & down when they eat & can't actually enjoy my meal and not hungry at that time) I do laundry and put it away empty dishwasher etc. the next 30 I would eat and read a bit or just sit down for a few minutes then Go get her and we work on reading sight words and math for about 45 minutes then I let her help me prepare a snack and we get her brother up.

Now mb has been leaving me notes and we usually go over the day together before she leaves.  I notice now she is writing down to keep the 6 yr old with me downstairs the whole time. and to work with her the entire time? Is she not realizing I need some time to hear myself think or rest. Not sure if I should start looking around. Is this a red flag? Am I being unreasonable to think I should at least get 15 minutes quiet time at some point? They are not babies [/quote]
