[quote=Anonymous]MB here, Hired nanny to care for my 2 middle school-aged children during the afternoons and evenings. She was hired in part because she agreed to light housekeeping (load/unload dishwasher, do family's laundry, cook dinner) ... Tonight I heard her ask DS if he was doing ok with his homework and if he needed any help. He replied that he was fine so she asked him if he'd mind if she went into the den to read her book. He didn't object (he's in 7th grade, as if he'd say "no please stay here with me") ... Now my quip is that I'm not paying this girl $15/hr to get some pleasure reading done. I've mentioned in passing that I'd love for her to reorganize fridge, pantry, home office etc. in her spare time. Yes, the kids ate, the dishes are done, and the wash is clean and folded ... But is it unreasonable of me to expect her to start doing some organization instead of sitting on my couch reading her book?[/quote]
