[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would write out a list that is explicit.

Not just "sweep kitchen floor" but "Sweep kitchen floor and make sure there is no food or crumbs on floor."

Not just "Do laundry" but "Do Kylie's laundry on Mondays, Kourtney's laundry on Wednesdays, and Khloe's laundry on Fridays."

Then tell her you'd like to sit down and go over how things are going. (Either pay overtime or get home early before she's scheduled to leave.) Tell her "The first week went really great - you totally hit it out of the park and did everything wonderfully. But beginning the second week we've noticed you've been using those kid-free nine hours to do your own errands during time we're paying you, and you're now leaving chunks of bread and carrot sticks on the kitchen floor. What happened from Week One to Week Two? Do you think you can see yourself getting back to your Week One Standard?" [/quote]

Just wanted to note that I laughed when thinking of my kids as the Kardashians.  I feel very fortunate right about now that they are not![/quote]
