[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does she need to ask you if she can use the car? I would be more specific about when it’s available in general and not make her keep asking. Example, she has the car during the day with the kids but at 4pm when u are done working you need it for the kids. On Mon and Tues eve bids it’s not available to get because you do X. But you won’t need the car on Wednesday evenings so she can use it then and should plan her social life accordingly. Weekends during the day she should assume you’re using it but should ask to use it on weekend evenings….. or obviously what works for you. I wouldn’t reset over this because I think you  need to let go of the car control a bit. How much screen time is she giving them and how old are they? If you say 2 hours snd she’s doing 3-4 in a 10 hour day but also does other fun things with them for 6 hours a day I would let that go too. [/quote]

Sorry, you’d let it go if she was having your kids watch 3-4 hours/TV/day??[/quote] if she was working a 10 hour day in the summer here with no or minimal car access yes I would. The last few weeks my kids watched an hour ish in the morning while I showered and walked dog. Then had breakfast, went to swim team for an hour and a half. Then did a play date, or went and did something else active, had lunch, played indoors, did some music practice and work book pages, read for 30 mins. Then watched an hour and a half or 2 hours before dinner. Didn’t keep this exact schedule everyday but some days. I see nothing wrong with it. I’d be ok with my au pair or sitter doing similar.[/quote]
