[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But I think you lose your argument when you argue that if the parents let their kids watch TV all weekend, that its hypocritical that they won't pay someone to plop their kids in front of the TV all week too. [/quote]

I don't think that is the part OP was saying was hypocritical... I understand not wanting to pay someone to put a tv on for your kids, but when the parents act like they don't want their kids to have much or any screen time, saying that they don't need it, they would rather have them get some fresh air and exercise (everything that I agree with), that tv rots their brains etc, BUT then go BACK against what they say they believe in and do the reverse on the weekends because it is EASIER on them, that is messed up. If you are going to say how much you are against something and don't want your kids having it due to x, y, and z but then let your kids for 8-10 hours, watch tv and play video games, then you are being a hypocrite.

The ones that just don't want you to entertain with screen time since they are paying you to make sure they get all the good stuff done during the week so the parents can let the kids veg out on the weekends are fine. I usually know these ones during the interview, the parents are TV fans as well and don't try to hide what they do allow for the kids (and themselves) on the weekends and that is their choice to make.
