[quote=Anonymous]OP - how old are the kids? I am guessing school age from your post but I do think actual age makes a difference here. Also are you their full time nanny or are you just there for the summer? If you are their full time nanny, what are afternoons during school like? Do you take the kids to lots of other activities and spend lots of time outdoors with them? At the end of the day, your comments about your MB suggest this job is not the right fit for you. If you just took this job for the summer, I think you're stuck unless you quit (and honestly, how did you not see this coming?). If this is a family you've been with for a while and want to continue to be with after the summer, I think your likelihood of success in addressing this situation with your MB will depend a lot on how old the kids are, how long you've been with the family (and how badly they want to keep you), and how willing you are to engage in their other activities (ie: standing outside in the cold in the winter to take them to soccer and baseball, and whatever else boys their age do these days). In all cases, I think it's on you to come up with alternative fun, engaging, indoor/cooler activities for the summer to present during that conversation. [/quote]
