[quote=Anonymous]Sorry to say this to you but I have been in enough of these situations to know that this is just how they live- and will probably only get offended if you confront the issue-so you will have to put up with it or just leave. I would mention it just to see what they do, but if nothing changes immediately start looking for another position.

Don't be afraid to leave- this area is overpopulated with people, people having new babies and families needing new nannies since the turn over rate is insane. There are dozens of new families in this area listed on sites every day so just find a new one. They are a dime a dozen around here and you will most likely find one normal or even better, paying more, and living in a clean house.

I was just in the same situation- except that this family lived in a $2 million home and had amazing professions but had odd living conditions and even odder demands of the Nanny. Imagine a 7 bedroom home with hardly any furniture- no crib for the baby-no bed frames just mattresses on the floor- an empty fridge with hardly anything to eat, and toys and clothes for their kids that looked like they were from the Good Will- I wasn't allowed to have the Tv on, have an hour break, make the children take a nap or implement any discipline and they got annoyed when I asked to turn the AC up because it was so hot I was sweating like a pig throughout the day. They expected me to cook but had hardly any cooking pans or appliances to use. I could go on and on but suffice to say people are weird and they are set in their ways so don't expect them to change for you.

I assumed since they had just moved a few months ago it was a transition but realized this was just how they lived- I got out and was happy I did.[/quote]
