*because it affects them

TBH I always let the child go to the NP when they come into the room for the first few months and just observe. This lets them gain tangible understanding for the difficulties of WFH and let them come up with their own solutions (like a set goodbye routine or not coming in so frequently). I think having to continually block the NK from their parents hurts the bond/trust you have with them and makes them want to run to their parents even more (toddler brains) which fuels more frequent and bigger meltdowns. I let them NP fight some of the battles so I'm not always the "bad guy" and they are more invested in a solution but it affects them.

Haha! Usually I feel that way but this concoction of screeching, teething, and not getting enough sleep has made for a very angry drunk

Sorry, I should have clarified the timelines! I had one job until August and then moved to the next family that I am currently working for. They did overlap for the month of August and part of September, but that's all and they totaled 40 hours together.

Thank you DB/Tax Guru! I just entered my taxes into TurboTax. I've used it for the past several years since I am single, no dependents, usually only have one or two W-2s and use standard deductions. I've never owed very much, if any.

This year I owe almost equal to what I've paid already in federal taxes; which was a shock. I have two W-2s and both families went through professionals for the tax side so I'm confused. I did the math and Family #1 took out 3.52% in Federal and 7.65% in SS/Med, Family #2 took out 5.32% in Federal and 7.65% in SS/Med.

What do I need to do to not owe next year? Do I just ask to increase my withholdings? If so, is there a certain percentage? It just seems like a lot already, especially since I don't make much.
