[quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree that you should have this discussion ASAP.  Also, figure out what you want.  I have had employers who didn't want to see me, ever and employers who felt rejected if I didn't want to join them for dinner after a 12 hour shift.  Both are problematic.  Figure out what you want.  I recomment giving her a laundry day (e.g., Saturday) and telling her that the reat of the family won't do any laundry on that day so that she can do hers without putting you out (this also cuts down on the likelihood that she will need to do a load at the same time that you need to do one on other days.

As for the kitchen, she will be in there.  If you try to put major restrictions on when or how she can eat, this arrangement will go south fast.  But, if she has a mini-fridge and microwave in her suite, then there will be less need for her to be in your space for snacks and some meals.  You should decide whether your priority is keeping food in the kithen or avoiding a traffic jam around the toaster.[/quote]
