[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The tasks are child related and ones I normally do already (Homework/spellings) which is why I get annoyed when she mentions it. The child is 7 years old and I was always employed as a nanny, not a cleaner/housekeeper. I do however, always tidy up/wash dishes even those that aren't mine or the childs. I never leave mess for them either and she has even said I don't need to worry about tidying up after her kid as she knows how untidy she is. This was said when I first started. However, I am learning that MB seems to say one thing but feels another. If she wanted a housekeeper then she should have employed someone specifically to do that. Maybe that's what the problem is. They have decided they need a cleaner rather then a nanny. [b]Personally, I would want someone to engage with my child, support them with homework, take them to the park etc but that's just me[/b]. Either way, it is uncomfortable for me right now and I feel upset every time I am there as their behavior and expectations are not clear. I don't think even they know what they want but I agree with whoever said that they seem to be on different pages and therefore, I just can't win. No nanny wants to feel her work and personal qualities are not being recognized. It is a horrible feeling as good nannies put so much into their jobs. [/quote] I know. But honestly, you don't speak for most parents. Every parent I know would prefer to spend [b]their[/b] time with their children taking them to the park and engaging with them rather than spending it cleaning up after them. I know it isn't fair. I will tell you when I was in medical school, I learned waay too late that no one really cared about my learning or how smart I was. All anyone wants is a little bit of a load off their shoulders. Once I stopped spending all of my time studying, going to clinic, witnessing surgeries, and doing all of the things they tell you to do, and started spending more time getting all of the paperwork done that I possibly could, following up on labs, and doing minor procedures that other people would otherwise have to do, I started getting honors in all of my rotations, rather than simply passing.
