[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it maters if this is a troll or not, it still provides a vehicle for a meaningful conversation. I have worked for work at home parents and after my last one thought never again. It was a family I had been with a year and a half at that point. When I started they had a7 mo old and I asked all the right questions to make sure it would work. Two months later the mom was laid off and then found it she's pregnant too. They ended up moving so kept me on. I found a couple more families who needed part time care and we formed a share and they kept me on and the kids came to my house while the moms were on maternity leave. The share more or less disbanded when the moms returned to work. This tine around working at home with the dad home too was more challenging. The baby was teething with six teeth and screamed much of the day. The mom was saving milk she pumped in Wed for the baby to drink on Monday and it was bad and the baby screamed more. It was really stressful. The two year old I'd been with since infancy was going through a daddy phase and was constantly crying for dad, and every time dad came out of his office it stayed again. It was hard to go anywhere because the baby wouldn't nap in the stroller and still took three naps a day. It was a disaster fir a couple of months. Things finally started to work themselves out with regard to the baby and the mom decided she hates her job and quit. So, they no longer need me. In June I was ready to quite even though they're a great family, but I stuck it out and now the only jobs I can find are after school care.

My advice us to give it a couple weeks to work out and I'd it doesn't, then start looking. If it's not working fir you, it's probably not working fir them either. This was a really nice family but it was still stressful. The dad was the ideal work at hinge parents personality wise, but it was still much harder than it would have been if he weren't hinge or if we were at someone elses house.[/quote]
