a couple of years ago i was doing some work on a house and the people that owned it were insane about nap time. after we signed the contract and everything they told us not to show up til 10 cause of a mid morning nap the kid liked, and then every day around 3 or so, they would come and tell us that it was nap time and we needed to stop working for a couple of hours so as not to disturb the baby. i get that it's tough having a kid and you want it to sleep, but shit, i can't make a living working half days on your damn house cause you're so insane about nap time. i would have charged a lot more for the work if i had known at the outset that my hours were dictated by nap time.
Your spot on right. It's the people that want to control every little facet of their baby's life so they can shape it and mold it into the person they want it to become. They are the same parents the feel let down when their kid becomes their own person that isn't a clone a of their parents as a teenager.... ugh... WE DON"T NEED ANY MORE CHESTER BENNINGTON'S!!!!!!
now that's some bull shit..... your work hours shouldn't be dictated by their baby's nap time and I guarantee you it wasn't that the baby really enjoyed those naps. The mom did, it was her my babies asleep so I can go call and socialize with my friends and post 30 pictures ton instagram of my baby time. That baby probably didn't care less about the time it took a nap just enjoyed it when it had one.
