MB may be making a passive-aggressive move to break up the nap because she also feels your job is too easy. That also needs to be addressed. This will be harder. How often is she coming home?[/quote]

I don't know that "too easy" is the right word, but if taking a 3 hour nap means that he doesn't go to bed until 10pm or wakes up at 4am or something, I can see how that would be annoying.  If you are a SAHM, you can make that decision.  But when the two of you are effectively splitting the care of this child, it is kind of unfair that you get the bonus time (long nap), and she has to deal with the consequences (up late, wakes up during the night, etc)[/quote]

The nap is not the issue. It's not my job to decide when and how long he naps, I go along with the schedule his parents want him to be on. It's not as if I'm making decisions on my own that negatively affect them when I leave - this is the schedule he is ALWAYS on, whether I am here or not. It's not "unfair" that I get the bonus time - she's his mother. If she wants that then she should be a SAHM. [/quote]

I'm sorry.  My understanding was that that they did NOT want him to take these long naps.  So DB was making these comments, and MB was coming home during the day to wake him up.  
So, your MB asks you to let him sleep from 12-3 or something, then comes home at 1:30 and wakes him up?  Is she then annoyed that you let him wake up?

And by bonus time, I just meant that when I was a SAHM, sometimes I would let my babies sleep for 4 or 5 hours during the day, knowing there would be hell to pay that night, because I wanted to get things done, and I would take my punishment when it came.  But when my nanny did that, so she could get things done, but I was the one up at 3am accepting the punishment for the long nap, I asked her not to let the baby sleep more than x amount of hours before waking him up.  
And yes, I am his mother.  But that doesn't mean that I want to be up in the middle of the night if it can easily be helped.
