[quote=Anonymous]I worked for two SAHMs.

One experience was wonderful and lasted over a year until the oldest went to preschool. They were 1, 3, 4. The mom and I clicked very fast, stayed out of each other's way, helped each other out and generally had a good time. I am still in touch with them years later.

The other job I got fired from because the 18mo "cried all the time while I was there". He would cry when the mom left, I would get him interested in an activity, and she would turn up ten minutes later to check on him... ad infinitum. I was there for four hours six days a week and it never stopped unless she went out. Then I wasn't there for three days and when I came back she said that he had been so much better and wasn't crying at all, so I was let go. I might have done a jig I was so relieved. I only wish I had quit myself sooner. She was a terrible micromanager and told me off for the most ridiculous things and asked me to do things not in my job description. I was too young to know I was being taken advantage of.

So I think the most important thing if you do work for a SAHM is to have clear boundaries of what each of your jobs are, have open lines of communication and above all like and get along with the mother.[/quote]
