[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can commiserate.  I also have a hard time standing up for myself and it's something I'm working on.  We had a cleaning lady years ago who was horrendous.  She wasn't rude in the way that yours is, but she was far, far too familiar.  She'd come late, plop herself down, and settle in for a chat with me.  The first couple of times, I didn't think anything of it - I was happy to get to know her and thought she'd see me as a "down-to-earth" employer.  However, she started doing this every single time, on top of never showing up when she said she would.  At the time, I had young kids and a baby, and I needed her to come in the morning so that the baby could nap in the afternoons.  She would totally disregard that and show up right at nap time!  And of course, being the spineless wimp I was (and also, much younger), I would accommodate her.

She'd also spend way too much time playing with my baby, instead of working.  It was unbelievable.  The final straw, however, was when she invited herself and her daughter to my baby's 1st birthday party.  They just showed up, which I found extraordinary - and not in a good way.

I finally told her I would be cleaning the house myself, which was a lie, but was the only thing I could come up with.  I think she knew the truth, but I was just relieved to finally be done with her and find someone who actually did the job they were paid for.[/quote]
