    I see it from the parents perspective too. That is why I explained several times that I knew I shouldn't have slept in but with my child being up so often I was sleeping through all the alarms set. She said it was fine, she understood, no harm done. But clearly there was.
    Some days I wear make-up, some days I wear sweats, some days I do my hair, some days I wear a really nice outfit, some days I don't feel like trying. I really think its my prerogative but it must be throwing her off.

    too bad I guess.

    I am soo not a morning person either. I am dressed by the time my first kids arrive, but I am almost always wearing sweats with my hair in a pony and I never wear makeup. That is pretty much my everyday attire, daycare or not (why dress up if I'm always at home?). One or both of my kids has either just woken up (or is still sleeping) and is still in their pjs, but my parents don't mind.
    I think it is a given that a parent will be tired in the morning, especially with young kids.
    Next time she says something I would just outright ask her what her issue is, and just tell her that if she doesn't trust you to look after her child, then maybe she needs to find alternate care.

    But then I would have to do that EVERY morning. I really do think it throws her off that I dress differently everyday. I might wear an echo t shirt and baggy jeans one day, sweats the next, and one the thirds day I wear a suit jacket and decide its a make up day. But suit jacket or not, my eyes just don't lose their glaze over until my house is filled with giggling babies
