[quote=Anonymous]Same as PP.
I did a couple of nights when I was an AP. I didn't mind, it was towards the end of my year, my kids were amazing... but I didn't sleep well at all (and acutally slept on the living room couch the first time I was alone with them over night - the boys were in the basement, the girls and I on the second floor, I wasn't sure I could hear everybody if anything was to happen...). Always had an extra day off after an overnight.

But yes, it's totally against the rules. You may be able to squeeze one night into your schedule (AP watches kids 2 pm to midnight on day #1 and midnight to 10 am on day #2) but no way AP can watch the kids more than a night in a row (unless you are happy with AP watching your kids from 8 pm to 6 am and the kids fighting for themselves from 6 am to 8 pm). Outside help. Babysitter, grandma, aunt, neighbor. Or have kids sleep over at thei best friend's (AP watches kids during the day or picks up from school and then drops off at wherever they sleep later in the day).
Do families ask? Yes. Do APs agree? Yes. Allowed? No.[/quote]
