You demand $20+ an hour for unskilled labor, want to be salaried, your also hourly, and then act so rude and entitled all day long. Just blows my mind.
Are you sure the nanny is unskilled labor?

When DB relieves me at the end of the day, he waits for exactly my quitting time to become available to take over. And I mean not one second sooner. He comes home and does something or other until the exact stroke of my end time and then comes in and asks me about my charge's day. It takes maybe ten minutes to transition. MB wants to be with her child the second she gets home so I never have this issue with her but she only does the hand-off once a week.
Look, I know this is stupid but it has been going on for two years. It feels disrespectful to me to always make sure that I do debriefing after he has made sure he has gotten his money's worth from me.
It is the "to the second" than would bug me too, OP. I like a smooth transition so I would sacrifice five or ten minutes of my own time to do the debriefing but I can see why you'd be bugged. My MB always comes home and is ready to take over a few minutes before my quitting time.
Why does that bother you, or OP for that matter. You are paid to stay until X time, they relieve you at X time exactly every day, oh the horror?
My DB works from home and comes up exactly, to the second, at our agreed upon time. Never bothered me, I love the consistency.
Because in OP's case, DB wants to talk for ten minutes after he walks in at the exact second of her end time. For me it would feel too calculated - staying away from his child while he was in the house until he absolutely, by law, had to deal with him.
BTW it is lovely if the same situation doesn't bother you. Not all people are bugged by the same things.
