[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just trying to get a sense of whether this crosses a line.

I work 60+ hours per week with 2 under 4 (4 13-hour days and 1 8-hour day).  I have two weeks’ paid time off that gets taken up with visiting family and other similar obligations.  I am getting really burnt out because I can never do literally anything Monday-Thursday.  I have enrolled in the NAEYC annual conference in DC and plan to take a few unpaid days off then. I also said yes to a few other commitments that would require me to leave qork by 6:30 instead of 8:30.  I plan to do the work of finding and training a qualified replacement sitter and my OT rate is so high that even paying generous wages for a sitter they are still getting a discount on those hours.  I obviously need to ask permission but I am trying to figure out how much blowback I might get.[/quote]

Perhaps 60 hours a week are tough, esp if neither kid is in a morning school or anything. Fortunately they both nap but that's still several long days.

If you sense this is too much for you, please talk to them about splitting the week up with a second nanny or something. Can you live in at their house M-Thursday? WOuld that make things easier, less to worry about?  I had 13 hour days in my 20s but could not do that nowadays - physically or b/c I also have to help run my own household once I get home![/quote]
