[quote=Anonymous]This is a typical age for separation anxiety, especially around something like bedtime. Because you work such long hours with her, she's very attached to you. There are several options. You can ask the parents to hire the sitter for the morning, then you work afternoon/evening. You can ask to stay over the night before and after, so that eliminating your commute makes you less tired. You can role play with the child on a normal day what will happen for the next dinner (you leaving quietly while she's playing). You can stay to put her to bed, then leave. Or you can just keep doing the same thing you are doing. PPs are right about anxiety. They're also right about children learning bad habits by manipulating to get what they want, even if the manipulation is unconscious at first. She's an individual who is entitled to her feelings, but her feelings don't dictate how the household runs.[/quote]
