[quote=Anonymous]I have been with this family for a year now and I am with then part-time. When I interviewed with MB she said she wanted a little help with things around the house, she told me what she needed help with besides the kids and that was to help with laundry when she didn't get to it, unload the dishwasher when she dont get to it, clean up after the kids of course and I was ok with it. When we discussed about the housework she needed help with she told me she usually does the laundry and the only help she needed was in case there was a load left she didn't get a chance to do it, fold it or whatever, but that she was very good with keeping her laundry on track. She also said she is usually very good with unloading the dishwasher and she needed help if she didn't get to it. Now, I am ok with folding the load of the laundry she left drying in the morning before she left to work, even though it wasn't my responsibility, and I am also ok with unloading the dishwasher as well.

Before I go to what my question is, I need to give a little background. I work afternoons M-Thursday. She is divorced and the kids go to dad's house on Saturday evening and come back on Monday after school. Here is my question, I don't know if I am just being too picky, but I work until Thursday and I always leave everything in perfect condition every day before my day is over, specially on thursday. If the kids had a play date on Friday, the toys will not be picked up in their playroom when I come back on monday. The dishwasher is usually for me to unload and the laundry is all for me to fold. She doesn't fold her laundry and what was to be a help when needed became my responsibility. I of course fold and put it away and do he dishes. I have tried leaving the laundry in the dryer or folded, she doesn't fold and neither put it away, and I of course end up doing the next day because I need my job. If the dishes in the dishwasher in clean, all the dishes she used she lays them in the counter, and even if the dishwasher is empty she still doesn't put her dirty dishes in. Not to mention when I come on Monday the kid's bed are not made, keeping in mind last night they slept at home was Saturday night.

Overall she is a great MB, don't micromanage, she always pays me when she doesn't need me, and I have never had a problem with that, but she never does any extra for me, which is fine because she only needs to pay me for what is agreed on. But it is starting to annoy me how she is having this attitude of " oh I have a nanny so I don't need to pick because  she has too"

I am not saying I will quit because of this but it is starting to annoy me. Am I being difficult and oily in here or am I within my rights to feel annoyed?[/quote]
