If he were in daycare, there would be the peer pressure to conform.

Everyone here is forgetting that kids have different needs. Our pediatrician said we should give our non-napping 2 year old an hour of quiet time in the crib because she happily sings to herself and is in a good mood when it’s over. My husband asked if 2 hours was ok and the pediatrician said no. Our child is almost 3 now and sometimes she fusses when we try to give her crib time, so we don’t force it those days.

Asking the parents to give you an hour break is not appropriate unless they somehow have easy flexible jobs that pay well enough for a nanny. Anyway I doubt they work from home since the OP is doing 10 hour days. Your best bet might be to ask for an 8 or 9 hour day and they can either find a babysitter to fill that gap or stagger their work hours so one parent gets home sooner. Most likely they’ll need to let you go. At age 3, the kid can go to preschool. [/quote]
