[quote=Anonymous]Ask for a sit-down when kids aren't around (during naptime is fine if you WAH). Be up front. "We really love you and DC does as well and we are so pleased with how you XY and Z. That said, I've noticed that some of the chore-type duties we included in the contract don't seem to be getting done. Can we talk about that? Has something changed that's making those more of a challenge?" Maybe she will respond with something valid "Well, since we started potty training, I've been spending more time on laundry and cleaning floors, so I don't always get all the toys cleared up." In which case tou can brainstorm together (e.g., why don't we move some toys to the attic until potty training is done so messes are smaller). Maybe she will be annoyed and offended. This is a red flag. Maybe she will be embarassed and apologetic, in which case, reiterated that you are overall pleased with her and express faith that she can figure this out.[/quote]
