[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you elaborate on what you mean by the "little" stuff OP? Reason being is that perhaps there is a way that you can talk to her + rectify the issue before letting her go.

Are these things that can be fixed?

Little stuff:
Can't manage kid homework. I don't mean helping with it, I mean taking a look at folders and seeing what the girls have to do that day. 
Clothes are always in the wrong closet even though they are clearly different sizes. Laundry is disorganized generally so harder to put away than if organized. 
Socks: one of my daughters never, ever has socks in her drawer. All socks end up in only one of the girls' rooms. 
Food: washing produce. Letting us know what kids are during the day so we don't repeat same for dinner. 
Basic judgment: Young 4 yr old girl plays outside alone in the backyard at dusk on a relatively busy street. Looking for 10 minutes for my "missing" girls (who seemed not to have gotten off the bus) instead of calling me right away, including by calling school and bus company. Random other stuff along these lines - kids have been fine but her judgment is just not quite what it should be. 
way too many texts that say "call me!!" with no other hint as to whether there is an emergency or if she's just wondering if there is soccer tomorrow.

Really, most of it is small stuff, but it makes my life harder. And the not calling when she can't find my kids for 10 minutes made me crazy. I've tried redirection on ALL of this but it's more of the same. It's not that she's not trying. She is. [/quote]
