[quote=Anonymous]It's fine to be frustrated about it (normal, even), but I don't think it's worth doing anything about.  If you're happy in the job and like everyone and everything, then just let it be.

A few times, experiment with saying you have to leave right on time, so can you talk about the situation right now?  See if you can get him to talk with you ahead of time.  I like the PP's suggestion of doing this, but rather than going right to saying you wrote it down, I'd first initiate it with this when he walks in the door:
"Hi, DB!  Great to see you!  I have to leave right at 5:30 tonight, so can we do our debrief in the next few minutes?  I won't have time to talk after that."

If he doesn't start to get it after doing this a handful of times, I'd just let it go.  If you feel like you're being paid fairly overall, then another 10 minutes isn't really the end of the world.  The PP who was terribly rude to nannies is being a total jerk, but there is value in what she's saying in terms of the fact that many employees in all jobs are asked to stay longer without pay, and it's just what we have to do sometimes to keep a job we love.  I used to be paid for 35 hours a week in an office job, but all of us usually worked about 45.  It was what was needed to get the job done.  :([/quote]
