[quote=Anonymous]Our APs have eaten dinner with us most weekday nights and usually on Sunday nights as well. I cook so they split cleaning up with DH. I do help but I am clear (with Dh and AP) that i don’t want to be left with the bulk of the work. Every ap in 12 years has recognized that assisting in cleaning up is a fair expectation and done it cheerfully. No AP has ever gotten up from a family meal before everyone is done and dinner is clearly over. I would not allow this in my home - from ap or kids. That is rude behavior, and it would not fly with us. Op, I think you will need to be clear about what you want on the first few days. We have had APs who asked to help on day one and APs who needed to be told to help. This is all part of training. The more you tell ap specifically how to be successful in your household, the better the chance that she will become successful. [/quote]
