[quote=Anonymous]I've been with this family for 3 years and this has never come up before, so I don't know what I should do.

A little background - the parents are divorced and the kids spend about 4 weeks at their dads house (in another state) during the summer.
I'm off during that time (and paid).
During the school year I work a split shift (before and after school, so 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon)
I work extra hours here and there and get paid for every hour outside of my "base hours."

Last night I got a text from my MB telling me she would like to adjust the hours for the no camp weeks.
She asked me to work 2-6p.m. instead of 7-9a.m. and then 4-6p.m.
I said ok, because honestly these hours work better for me anyway - I can sleep in and I don't have to drive to work twice a day.
But now I'm thinking that it might be the beginning of a job creep. 
I get that she won't need me in the morning because the kids are old enough to be in the house by themselves and they will probably sleep until noon.

Normally I would tell her that those two hours between 2 and 4 were outside of our agreed hours and she would have to pay me for them.
But it's so hard in this case, because I will be off all July and paid for doing nothing. That's a lot of vacation time.

Wwyd?
On one hand I want to help her and just make it easier for her, but then I'm afraid if I do, she will start "adjusting hours" for random days that she is off or whatever.
I guess it's too late now, because I already said I would do it.

Have any of you been in this situation before?

I have to admit that this has never happened before - if I wasn't needed in the morning, I didn't have to make up that time later in the day.
It's a new situation and don't know how to deal with it.[/quote]
