[quote=Anonymous]My youngest charge is 7 months and a really bad sleeper, IMO. He takes 3 naps that range between 25-45 minutes. Oldest is 3 and in preschool half day and I drop off and pick up. When I was offered the position, some household chores included doing everyone’s laundry (including changing 4 beds and towels every week) loading/running dishwasher, vacuuming, taking trash out, and sweeping and mopping. However, in the last few weeks or so I have found it extremely difficult to do all the housework. 1. The baby is crawling and no room is baby proofed so they bought a play pen that he hates being in and screams at the top of his lungs. So, I can’t leave baby outside play pen because he’ll crawl and inevitability get hurt. 2. Recently older charge has been very naughty and destroying the play room (purposely leaving food to rot in his toy boxes, drawing on walls and floors, throwing chalk everywhere). In short, I cannot leave the kids unattended for even a split second. If I really need to do something I’ll put baby in the exersaucer or his bouncer or jumper but he only lasts about 5-10 minutes. As I mentioned above, baby doesn’t nap long and when he does I eat lunch and take a break bc I don’t get to do that when older charge is home from preschool. I just feel that at the moment it is more important for me to focus on the kids as oppose to changing MB/DB bed or doing their laundry Of course anything child related for cleaning I’ll do (like their dishes and laundry). How can I approach this to MB without sounding lazy or complaining? [/quote]
