[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fear I am on the proverbial "slippery slope".  I made it clear to my employers that I am happy to do any and all child-related chores.  However I am not a jerk so when the occasional coffee cup was left in the morning I would, of course, wash it.  Time has passed and I am not getting left all of the parent's breakfast dishes and their hand-washed dinner dishes from the prior evening to be put away.  It does bug me but more than that it takes away valuable time from my charge in the morning.  [/quote]

Are they asking you to do these extra chores or are you just taking it upon yourself and then complaining? Why not just not wash their dishes and they will continue to take care of them like they normally would. If my nanny started vacuuming the house every day I wouldn't complain, but I have no expectation for her to do that. [/quote]

I cannot just leave the dishes in the sink and sometimes do have to wait to wash them in the afternoon.  I would like them to stop leaving them for me and should just tell them but [b]I don't understand why they would push me like this.[/b]  They know what my job entails and they know how demanding their child is especially in the morning.

I was a nanny for fifteen years and am now an MB.  Going both ways (nanny to MB or MB to nanny) I have never understood why either cannot simply do the right thing.  I hated having to reestablish job boundaries for my employers and I hate having to re-instruct our nanny now on arriving on time or limiting her phone use.  [/quote]
