[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a one time deal, or are they always like this?  If it is the only time you came in and it was a mess, let it go.

The free babysitting, you did not set an hour cap on it, and as a parent, I would probably try to go for as many hours as I could for free

The help with the party, don't do it anymore.  After I had a mom do a similar thing, I stopped coming early to help.

If you are uncomfortable if the nature of your relationship with your employers, don't hang out after work to chat.  Just let them know you need to go. Be friendly about it, but do it.  [/quote]

OP here. It has never been this bad, or all at once, but yesterday kind of made me realize that a lot of these small things happen all the time, and I just didn't notice or care until it piled on. I leave late pretty often, they rarely empty the diaper genie themselves but I was out for a few days last week, and on Monday the thing was exploding at the gills and had diapers on top. As for the free babysitting, they have always booked me for a 3 hour date night, so I gave the free date night expecting it to be around the same amount of time. When the mom tried to book me for 8 hours, then asked to use the gift, I was floored. When I asked to cap it, she suddenly only needed 4 hours anyway. Maybe some people would try to milk someone's generosity like that, but I wouldn't, and I really didn't expect it from them. I am going to try to be better about leaving at my end time, but they are talkers and I feel rude putting on my coat while she's still talking and asking questions. [/quote]
