[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - what in the world would they be paying you for if you are just there to make sure they are alive and supplied w/ food while they watch TV or play video games?  I suppose someone still needs to do that, but certainly not a skilled nanny.  DH and I do have a number of kids shows' on the DVR - DD watches 1 hr a day (while we get dressed in the morning and then at night before bed) weekdays and about 2 hrs on weekends.  yes, I think the time on weekends is kind of too much - i'm not proud - but it is just too much to come off the work week and be up at 6 bright and early and ready to engage w/ the kiddos.  If you are a nanny w/ your own kids, you get to decide what happens with their screen time on the days of the week YOU do not work and you are trying to squeeze in a small bit of relaxing.

I would say the outing issue is the problem.  Make a list of some suggested spots (know the pricing and hours) and ask MB which are OK for times when there is no school for an extended period.  Or ask if it would be OK for the kids to invite over a friend for a couple hours (yes, it's extra kids in the house but since it sounds like they are school age, I think it would be LESS work for you since the kids would then play together so long as each has a friend).

Apparently YOU missed the part where I said I had no desire or intention to just plop them in front of TV all the time or the fact that we don't have much in the way of options for outings right now due to the awful weather where we are. It is the fact that the message to their kids is very hypocritical and makes it hard to enforce when I am here. Read next time before responding. [/quote]
