[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tough call. It's hard to make yourself go to a job you're dreading...I have a one day a week job like that myself. Also contemplating what to do about it. But really, once I'm AT the job it's OK. Sure there's some clock watching involved, but overall it's OK once I'm there. Can you stick it out for the remaining 6 months...maybe take every 6th weekend off or something like that??

I think also, getting to the root of why you're dreading it might help. Do you not like the kids? Are you not allowed to go anywhere? Or is it burn out from working a second job? Would shorter hours be a possibility? I think if you can get to the bottom of the dread, you might be able to either find a solution that works for you and the family (every 6th weekend off for example, or 8 hr days on Sunday instead of 12 hr days etc.) or you might be able to mentally convince yourself to stick it out for the 6  months you have left and then plan something really fun/relaxing for that first weekend you're free in January.[/quote]

OP here.  My charge is really spoiled and, while very smart and cute, is a brat.  My employers are always around making the job harder.  They recently had another baby and I don't care for the new baby's nanny.

Shorter hours aren't possible as they want me there from when the child wakes up until when he goes to sleep.

I watch the clock all day - literally counting the minutes.

Thanks for responding, PP.  [/quote]
