[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I don't do adult laundry. I couldn't have a professional respectful relationship with someone who's underwear I wash weekly. I couldn't look at them without thinking about what a spoiled lazy brat they are. I sure as hell wouldn't do it for $13.50/hour. Wash your own damn clothes people! Your delicate hands won't fall off, I promise![/quote]

we work FT and do not have any help at home, so we do wash all our stuff ourselves. I found your comments offensive and unfair. these people hired a nanny and put in the job description laundry once a week. why should they be considered spoiled lazy brats? they paid for a service, and how they choose to spend their money is their business. maybe they work 15hr a day including week ends, maybe they take care of the yard and themselves and never eat out. if you buy a sandwich for lunch at work instead of bringing your lunch are you a lazy spoiled brat? I also find kind of funny how the nanny knows about the stains in the underwear, mine goes from the hamper to the washer, and for sure I have not time to look at every single garment when I do the laundry.

but  the real issue here is that the nanny does not want to wash the laundry, which is also perfectly OK. so why the heck did she accept to do it?  she could have said no, and look for a job where she was not asked to do laundry. her employers would have found somebody else who did not mind doing the laundry, win win.  accepting the job, and then complaining about doing the laundry seem very childish to me.  If, after accepting the job and agreeing to  do the laundry, the nanny came to me and told me that she does not want to wash underwear, I would find her very strange ; laundry is all kind of clothing items, even underwear, and yes they are dirty, otherwise they would not need to be washed  (I could understand if she had to wash it by hand, but I assume that the laundry is done by simply dropping a bunch of laundry in the washer). of the nanny had a problem with it, why she did not say it upfront.[/quote]

You read too much into my post. I wasn't saying that her bosses don't have a right to spend their money how they choose, simply that I couldn't respect someone like that. I couldn't have a professional relationship with someone who has asked me to wash their underwear, as I would have a hard time not seeing them as lazy. If you make it clear in your ad that laundry is expected, more power to you. I would never take a job like that because I don't want to work for people who can't/won't do their own laundry, just as I don't work for people who spank, rely heavily on TV, or eat a lot of fast food.
