[quote=Anonymous]Wait, MB had a baby 6 weeks ago, but is staying out until midnight and leaving at 6 am to "take breaks" from the baby? That doesn't make any sense -- not least of all b/c she would be exhausted given that she clearly does 12am-6am care -- and I doubt is what is really going on. It would make more sense if MB was employing OP so that she could *sleep* during the late night/early morning periods. Is that right? If so, and assuming she is basically home during the day (or at least not committed to be elsewhere), could you agree on a several hour period in the afternoon where you could nap for 2-3 hours while she watches the children on days where you work until midnight & will start again early?

I will say that, while I am incredibly sympathetic to wanting more than 6 hours of sleep per night, I am a new-ish mom who can't afford that much care & works/commutes 10 hour days... Since DD also doesn't sleep through the nights yet (3 mo.), I subsist on 6 hours sleep max EVERY NIGHT. If this is just an occasional thing and you're getting paid for it, I honestly don't think it's an unreasonable ask... Just say no if you can't do it.[/quote]
