[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would approach this as a conversation about the scope of the job with a second baby coming.  You're in a perfect place to do that appropriately and to simultaneously address the job creep.

"Jane and Bob, can we talk about your expectations when the second baby comes? "   See what they say.  Be prepared with language like:

- I'm really excited about the new baby but it will change the job significantly so what I wanted to see what you were thinking in terms of my rate, the scope of work, revising our contract, etc...

- One thing that has happened over the past year is that I've slowly expanded my responsibilities to include....   I have two concerns, one is that it probably won't be realistic for me to continue doing those things when the baby arrives, and also I feel that they were tasks that were fairly significantly outside the scope of the contract so if you wanted me to continue trying to do everything I would ask for consideration of that in my compensation.

- I really enjoy working with all of you, and therefore have hesitated to raise any of these concerns, but I really appreciate that you treat this job professionally, use a contract, etc... so I wanted to be professional in my approach to this conversation also, and to ask for this discussion before the baby comes.

Good luck OP.[/quote]

This is the first helpful response. Ignore anyone in life that jumps to extremes. [/quote]
