[quote=Anonymous]DId you tell her that while the kids were at camp, she was on duty and needs to do kid related chores?  OR did you just assume that she would know that?

If she was supposed to be at the SSA office, that would indicate to me that she is newly arrived and has just recently started being an AP in your household.  In which case, it is incumbent upon you to give her a detailed description of her duties and a written schedule (i.e. - Thurs after kids are at camp, you will continue to be on duty for 2 hours and during these 2 hours you are expected to do task x, y and z)  If you didn't do this you can't reasonably expect her to read your mind.

Is this the first time you are having issues with her?  Regardless, you say something, ASAP.  If you already told her and she slacked, make it clear that you expect her to do what you asked her to do when you asked her to do it and insist that she make up the hours and do the work in her free time tonight.  If you didn't make it clear, make it clear now.  You will make no one happy by "observing"

BTW, I had this AP, she only got worse as the year went by and at the end of the year, she was telling my kids "I don't care what your Mom wants" behind my back.  Nip it in the bud early.[/quote]
