Dishes?

[Anonymous]

Some of you are so petty on both sides! Without any tough convo or hard feelings my nanny and I have a system to make the house (and therefore both our lives) run smoothly. At night I load any last dishes into the dishwasher and run it so she has everything clean she needs for the next day. I may also leave some dinner pans soaking in the sink b/c they need to soak - not some passive aggressive message for her to do them!

In the morning she empties the dishwasher while DS eats breakfast, loads in any overflow from the night before (a water cup that was used after I started the dish washer etc, nothing major) and loads what she uses throughout the day. If she comes late on a given day, I empty dishwasher while DS eats. If she has time during nap and feels like it, she may wash any soaking dishes, but she also feels comfortable leaving them. I appreciate it when she does but in no way expect her to.

We both have what we need (clean dishes for kid and generally clean kitchen) and both try to get the other a good starting point. I'm not sure why this has to be complicated
