THey're quite cheap and easy to install and that might solve the whole problem.

I have to stumble around in the dark through their yard, try to find my house key in order to get into their home. They also don't leave any lights on in the house for me.
I have asked them many times to at least leave an outdoor light on for me, as I see it as a safety issue.
My MB will oblige for a week or two and then the lights go off again.
Is this an unreasonable request? Am I requesting too much?

If it is such a safety issue you would have taken care of it yourself by now, a flashlight, a keychain light, your iPhone light, etc. You are an adult (supposedly), please act like one.

Have you ever worked, PP? I mean held an actual job? I would no more walk to my place of employment without adequate lighting and safe conditions than I would fly to the moon!!! I work in a hospital and you better believe we all (men and women both) have brightly lit walkways and parking lots when we arrive at work in the dark. I assure you all of the doctors, nurses and staff employed at our hospital are adults.

Of course a nanny should have the same safe and comfortable working conditions at her place of employment.

I agree, nanny should go to college and get a real job. She deserves to have a light on!

What a cruel, hurtful thing to say. Does it make you feel better about yourself to say such awful things to people?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Since you're so concerned about my education level, I have a master's degree. I've been a nanny for 10 years and earn more than most of the people who graduated with me. This isn't a job, it is my career and I am damn good at it.

Yet you need someone to hold your hand to walk from your car to the house? Too bad they didn't offer a masters in common sense.

Asking for adequate lighting isn't needing one's hand held.
Would you walk in a dark parking lot alone?

Yes, I am an adult. I am not afraid of the dark.

Neither am I. I'm afraid of rape.

I'll bet it took a while for you to come up with that one. Ouch...you really got me.
