[quote=Anonymous]It's totally up to you.  They may offer a raise to you just on principle, and of course, I would TAKE IT.  If not, then you don't need to ask for one.  Just plan to go ahead and ask at your next review, including in your reasoning that you deserve a raise for good work and an increase in responsibility with the new kid.

You ARE going to be working harder, just not more hours.  Working with two kids instead of one means less down time for you -- during naps when one kid is sleeping and the other isn't, and even during everyday moments when you might be able to run to the bathroom alone while the older kid plays in the other room but will now need to take the baby along (or whatever -- sorry, not a great example, but you know what I mean).

If the MB is taking maternity leave, you may have a period where there isn't more responsibility if she's watching one child while you watch the other.

Ultimately, it sounds like you're happy with the family, and they're happy with you, so just do whatever you can to maintain that situation and keep yourself and them happy![/quote]
