[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound petty. I'd be annoyed that the other family is not organized, but not to the point that I make a post about it on DCUM. Also, why don't you bring it up with the other family? Send an email and share your concerns and see what they say.[/quote]

Very petty.  They are both probably paying the same price and OP gets the benefit of it at her house and not having to do anything like pack up stuff.[/quote]

I don't think it's always a benefit to host a nanny share at your own house.  Yes, it's comfortable for the child and good that you don't need the extra time to pick up /drop off, but it's also the wear and tear of two kids running around, having to clean it well every night so that it's in good shape to host, and if the parents ever work from home, it's certainly more of a disturbance.

I don't think you need to make a huge deal out of this issue--every parent screws up sometimes, but just send a text and say you've had to provide XYZ for their kid, and can they please make sure to send it next week.  If they're nice people, they'll be embarassed and try to do better.[/quote]

Yes, its to their benefit.  Or, they'd choose to do it at the other person's house or day care.[/quote]

You can continue to repeat that it's to their benefit, and that's your opinion, but that doesn't make it so.  When we were arranging to have a nanny share, the other child's family asked to have it at our house because their place was smaller and because one of the parents worked at home.  You can't disregard the work it takes to "host" a nanny share at your home.[/quote]
