I started working for a new family about 9 months ago. Great people. One baby under a year old and a toddler. They sleep in separate rooms downstairs during the afternoon. DB works from home, and every day without fail he comes down right after I’ve successfully put the baby down for her nap to eat his lunch. He opens up the chip bags, slams the microwave to heat up his food, he throws things in the sink, and then slams the baby gate on the foot of their stairs going back up to his office. Her naps are almost always disrupted unless she’s completely exhausted, but she is a light sleeper. I genuinely wish I were exaggerating his loudness, but she wakes up crying because she’s tired! It feels incredibly inconsiderate to me. I work hard to make sure the kids stay on schedule. She’s obviously passed out in her pack and play in the middle of the room with the lights off, like how much more obvious could it be? Listen I know this is his house and obviously don’t expect him to not come out of his office at all during the day. He lives and works here so it’s gonna happen. I just wish he would be quieter— or figure out his meals before or after her nap times is all. Rant over. I genuinely love everything else about my job. This is just a little frustrating for me. Any advice is appreciated.
