[quote=Anonymous]I did this due to overlapping work trips.  Tuesday - Friday:  I left Tuesday at 5pm and returned Friday at 6pm.  Kids are generally in school 8:30am - 3pm, but I organized after school activities/play dates so AP didn't have to work again until 5pm each day.  I coordinated dinners each night...heat and serve, pizza delivered, etc.  Kids go to bed at 8:30pm and wake up at 7am.  She was off weekend + Monday before and weekend after.  But yes, if you count all sleeping hours, then I exceeded the 10 hour per day rule.  5pm-8:30am, even though AP was sleeping at least 6-7 of those hours each night.  AP agreed to it (I offered for neighbor to spend the night, but kind of awkward for everyone) and seemed  enthusiastic about it, but ended up throwing it back in my face 5 months later.  Honestly, next time I ever need this (the first time it has happened in 3 years of having APs), I will insist neighbor just spends the night.  Not worth breaking the rules, even though it appears to be a seemingly fair deal for AP (and she only works 25-30 hours every other week, rarely weekend hours, etc), you never know when their AP friends are going to convince them how mistreated they are and the resentment comes through...even months later!
