[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize that your arguemrnt of you can't drive in an emergency is going to backfire on you right? Ok you can't stay with the kids for the trip because of 'emergencies' then why should they keep you during the week if there's an emergency?[/quote]

I've been with this family for over 3 years, they've kept me around this long, even when emergencies occurred, one of the children is special needs, it's hard enough to take care of that child alone, and then have to homeschool the others while MB & DB are away. It's tough. [b]I've already make it clear to MB before, that I'm not willing to do overnights any more because they burn me out,[/b] the children seem to not cooperate when parents are not around, and it's difficult trying to balance everything and everyone with only one pair of hands. MB is a SAHM so she's usually there to help.  It now she's planning a trip, I don't think I can handle. Call it what you want. [/quote]

I think this bit bolded is key to this. I think you just become a broken record: 'I'm sorry MB I am unable to do overnights for your family', and 'I'm not available for overnights, would you like me to help you find a back up sitter'? Even if she asks you to think about it 'thinking about it doesn't change that Im not available for overnights'.

Also this family sounds like a handful and you don't sound like you love your job. Maybe its time to start looking for a new position? [/quote]
