[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people should work on reading comprehension. PP said that "any job" out there lets you go home at 5 on the dot when work is supposed to end. That simply isn't true for the vast majority of jobs out there. Married to a physician who never has any clue when he is getting home, because a patient could show up to the hospital at 458, and it's his job to treat them, which takes more than 2 minutes. If it's a clinic day, a couple of late patients or a slow medical assistant can throw the schedule off for an entire day. [b]My job technically ends at 5, but it's totally normal to have work that needs to be finished before I leave, causing me to stay later, or to have my boss sideline me with an important conversation as I'm trying to get out the door. [/b] You should absolutely be compensated for your time, OP. But wanting to leave at 5 (or whatever time) on the dot may not be realistic for these parents if they have one of the many, many jobs in this world that sometimes require you to stay a few minutes late (without additional compensation!) And if that's the case, maybe this isn't the job for you. [/quote] Add that into your schedule, PP, and give the nanny a quitting time of 6 or 7PM to account for that possibility. You and your husband are two adults - I am sure you can figure out for one of you to get home at the agreed upon time. [/quote]
