[quote=Anonymous]Those things would bother me too. First thing is, you either a) pay a late fee per minute (if that’s an option for you) or b) they have to find coverage- that simple. You can be straightforward or make up a story and say you’re interested in a workout class but wasn’t sure if their hours have changed since they’ve been late- then go into option a or b. Are you required to clean up after the parents and the child? I understand the kitchen being a mess (that grinds my gears) but I would push their dishes to the side and hopefully they’ll notice how much of a snob they’re being. I don’t see how you can ask someone to clean up after themselves in their home- I’m totally with you but I have a set of parents who are the same way and I just clean around their mess and eventually they would try their hardest to put dishes away and remove food out the sink before heading out.

How old is your charge? Considering you’ve been with the family for 3 years, I’m guessing she is around that age? I would let them know now is a great time for her to put her clothes in the hamper and put away her books before bed. However, op, you should be making her do this when you arrive (same goes with toys).

Lastly, the tantrums I have nothing to say lol. It’s really nothing you can do. My charge is the exact same way but doesn’t pull that stuff with me. Her mom lets her get away with it all and feeds into it. When she throws tantrums, I just walk away and ignore her (both the mom and child ?) it’s ridiculous. I’ve talked to mom before about giving attention to the tantrums but I’m not going to keep singing the same op song. Her tantrums are AWFUL to (kicks, screams, throws stuff you name it).

Some of us have been where you are. It will either get better or worse.
