[quote=Anonymous]From OP "making family meals, house cleaning on the weekends, walking the dog several times each day, and as winter approaches, shoveling the sidewalks or driveway ".

Family meals you can ask now and again, like once a month but be careful what you wish for...most cannot cook.

Walking the dog? No...do not even ask.  Our APs avoided our dog, and now; after our dog has passed current AP is begging for one to take care of...either way, it is not their job.

Shoveling snow - depends.  We now have male APs after 5 females and probably would ask...but they like that kind of stuff.  The only time we ask our male APs to do anything beyond scope is to move heavy things with DH; they jump at the chance to be a "guy" again and do guy stuff like move furniture or climb things.  Females, not so much.  Our female APs from places that did not see snow liked the concept of snow, not the reality.

I would just stick to the program and be happy you have reliable live in baby sitter service.  That really is all it is, and it is great when everyone is on the same page.[/quote]
