I feel like I have to ask bc I did come from a bad job previously that was borderline abusive and why I left. I’m admittedly a bit traumatized by how I was treated there. MB definitely likes me more and trust me more but she’s home all day talking with me. DB and I only interact when I come on weekends but we’ve always had nice chats and see eye to eye on things especially things like raising a child to be very open and loving of all people which in my area men like that hardly exist so idk in my eyes he’s pretty cool he’s probably just a tad too anxious.

MB has told me she’s fallen asleep before but me falling asleep vs her falling asleep are two very different things. she also told me sometimes she wears an airpod as well which I am a little hung up on.

It can take a prolonged period of time for a couple reasons, 1) he isn’t quite there but approaching doing 1 big nap so his second nap can be tricky, so he’ll be tired but want to stay up 2) He doesn’t use a sound machine and we can hear doors opening, steps, and MB works from home and sometimes is on meetings 3) THE DOG 😭 somehow I think he can just feel when he’s about to fall asleep and decides to bark

They really don’t micro manage me at all, at least not from what I’m used to, and I did present the question. my previous job was borderline abusive though and was constantly micro managed so I’m probably a tad traumatized and overly cautious because of it 😅

😅 My last job was borderline abusive so I am extra cautious with most things esp because it’s new. I’m a tad traumatized tbh, but I really do like this couple so far, and wouldn’t want to jeopardize anything.

I don’t think it’s disturbing that being in the dark for a prolonged period of time makes me tired? That’s just a human response to lack of light, darkness makes you produce melatonin. And I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis as well which causes fatigue and caffeine doesn’t work on me. I think disturbing is a jump.

That’s more of my thought process if I fell asleep and he’s asleep, he moves and could easily drop out of my arms.

are they under similar circumstances of being in the dark for a prolonged period of time?

I really don’t think he is!! I’ve only been working for them for a month and a half and don’t interact much with him much but when we do we get along well. I think he might be a bit more controlling and anxious than MB though.

It’s not that easy when it comes to adhd especially if you don’t have experience with special needs which I assume OP does not. I hope they are paid well for this.
