A month ago I started a Nanny job looking after one little boy, he's just turned 6 months.
Mum is a SAHM and is with us most of the time, except when she goes out for lunch or is napping.
My hours are 24/6.
Baby sleeps well through the night but only has two 45 min naps during the day.
He's not allowed to cry or whinge and spends most of his time either being held and sung to, or actively being played with (dangling toys over his head etc).
We live on a property that can only be accessed by car, so there is no scope for walks without using the driver and Mum doesn't let us go out without her anyway.
We go out once a day, mid afternoon, for about one hour, usually a walk. As I work 6 days a week, this is my only time.outside which may well be clouding my judgement a little.
It's got to the point where I'm starting to climb up the walls with boredom/frustration. The Mum is expecting me to keep the baby actively engaged throughout the day (therefore I can't set him down to play or take him with me whilst I do something) and the baby will whine if he's not be actively played with so there's a large amount of just walking around with him singing.
AIBU to try and push for more time out of the house? Or am.i actually shit at my job, and should be thrilled to played with a baby for 10 hours a day?
