Complain complain complain. If you don't like it, leave.

Bitch, your home is my office. Please leave it as neat as you find it.

The French isn't exactly my style, but some things do need to be said loud and clear. Thank you.

If Dad told you to just leave the dirty dishes then do so....Even if it grosses you out.

If you continue washing them, they will never get around to washing them on their own.

I know it will be gross, but it truly is not your responsibility.

OP here. I'm not complaining or making a big deal. This is a big amount of dishes. I am not talking about 3-4 dishes. That I would not care about. I'm talking about a sink of day old dishes. And on weekend it's 2 days!

All you nannies complaining about a few dishes here or there are probably the same ones complaining that you don't get a bonus every year either.

I have time during nap and really don't mind putting a few extra things in the dishwasher just to make my bosses lives easier. I even sometimes make their bed when they don't have time!

In return my bosses let me leave early, take vacation at my choosing, pay me well above market rates, give generous bonuses and pay for health insurance and into my retirement. Look at the big picture ladies.

Ah! The door mat has spoken.

Stop doing them. Put them on the counter, cover with dish towel and LEAVE them.

And then come to work the next day and they leave their plates and dinner dish in the sink for me. When I started I stated I do not clean dinner dishes that if I leave empty sink I should come back to empty sink. It's gotten to point where it's everyday. I said something to the dad and he said just leave dishes. But I can't leave dirty dishes for 10 hours. Gross

our nanny is ok with us leaving dishes for her to do (she even sometimes says "just go to work, i'll take care", but we make sure we do not take it for granted, and always thank her, plus it is important that if she decided not to do it on one day, parents should be totally ok with her not doing it. again, never take it for granted.

that said, nannies who would rather text and watch cable to prove the point that "dishes are not their job" are not the type of nannies we would hire. also, sometimes parents truly do not have time in the morning to do the kitchen for the nannies to enjoy it. it can be gross, but it is also life of people who work, and mornings are the worst.

Get up 1/2 hour earlier so you have time to leave a clean kitchen. I did and it isn't that difficult. You are just lazy.

I feel for you as every job I've held has faced the same thing. People have a tendency toward laziness in general when it comes to their homes. Some more than others, of course. Honestly I don't think it's realistuc for you to ask them to prepare a spotless sink for you every single day.
But yes, it's gross handling your employers dirty dishes and used silverware.
I just wash my hands after.

It is inexcusable to leave a filthy house/sink full of dirty dishes/dirty diapers lying around, etc., for a nanny. If you wants clean house when you get home then you leave a clean house for nanny when she arrives.
