[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar situation.  I am comfortable with it.

I get there about 11 a.m. and mom feeds the kids lunch while I get stuff together for afternoon outings.  Then mom takes a nap (she's pregnant) while I take the kids out for the afternoon.  Then we get back home about 5 p.m.  By then dad is home too.  Mom gives the kids a bath while I get dinner together and clean up the kitchen.  Dad does various honey-do things while she and I are doing our stuff.  Then the parents go out to dinner and a movie and I take care of the kids until they get back home about 10 p.m.

And yes, sometimes I discipline the kids in front of the parents.  Sometimes the parents discipline the kids in front of me.

Every now and then, both parents are interacting with the kids instead of me for an hour or so.  I tease the parents that if they keep that up, I am going to have to split my babysitting check with them.   :P      I am good about noticing and taking care of other things when there is a lull in the day in regard to the childcare needs.  This past week, I straightened up their pantry a bit during a lull.  [/quote]
