[quote=Anonymous]My sixteen-month-old charge has gone to several play dates and it is past turn to reciprocate.  Here is the problem - although I have set up a wonderful (clean) playroom, our guests will still have to walk thru the foyer and living room where my employer leaves every pair of shoes she's worn that week on the floor of the foyer, her blankets all over the living room couch, clothes on the chairs and general clutter everywhere.  The housekeeper comes once a week on Fridays to put away her stuff so by the time I get there are Monday, there is already a mess.

She is a wonderful mother and a great employer but she is shockingly messy.  I have gotten used to picking up the baby's clothes from the bathroom and bedroom floors every morning but stop at her clothes.

I don't want the other mothers and nannies who come for play-dates see what a slob she is - but I also don't want (nor do I have the time) to put away her shit myself.  There is no point in talking to her about it either since her very neat husband can't get her to put anything away either.

What to do?  And why do I care so much?!  Ugh... I had to schedule two play-dates this week and I either have to pick up her shit myself or feel embarrassed for her, right?  Any other options?  [/quote]
