[quote=Anonymous]I am annoyed that my au pair 'forgets' little things I ask/show her to do, like turn off the bathroom light, hang up your coat instead of throwing it on the chair, put the remote control back in the basket, don't leave the fridge door open while you pour juice, wipe up little spills on the counter, sort the spoons by big and little in the proper utensil slots, put the knives in the drawer facing the same direction, etc. Yes, they are little things, but some not just about being nit picky, but practical and but about safety and energy waste in addition to being annoying. It's been 6 weeks and I showed her and have reminded once. I hate to be a nagging host mom, but...should I just make a list of 'reminders' like this and email it to her? Maybe it will be easier to remember if she sees it in writing? I don't think it's passive-aggressive. I think she's just generally inattentive to this stuff (and hopefully NOT as inattentive w/dc!) ideas? [/quote]
