[quote=Anonymous]I have a very similar relationship with my employers as PP...although I only work 50 hours vs 70 hours.

My MB has also told me that she wants the kids to be an environment similar to the one they'd experience if she was a SAHM. This means the kids go with me to the dentist twice a year, and occasionally they go with me to the doctor or vet (for my cat...they don't have any pets). We run errands every once in awhile. It also means that they have to entertain themselves at times while I am switching loads of laundry or folding it (the kids have been putting it away since they were 3 1/2), washing dishes, etc... Heck even if I didn't have to do those things the kids would still be entertaining themselves at times b/c it's good for their development to do so. I don't allow the kids to watch tv during my time with them...other than two 7 1/2 minute youtube videos one afternoon each week (they always choose pink panther).

My charges are currently 5. I've been with them for 3 1/2 years. I've always done household tasks with them present. They're old enough to do their own thing now while I'm occupied, but when they were younger I would set them up with an activity within eye/earshot while I took care of things around the house. It's quite easy to do. The kids know that sometimes adults need to take care of household or personal things. They also know that we always make time for their activities (both at the house and outside scheduled ones), trips to the park, playdates, etc...
