[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The AP can absolutely empty the dishwasher in the morning. It's not so hard to put away dishes.Ours never seems to have had an issue with it. [/quote] Just because it's not a difficult task doesn't make it her responsibility. Have her start 5 min earlier each morning and unload it yourself. I have a 15 min overlap each morning with the au pair so I can do some odds and ends around before I leave. Our au pair does chores around the house on her own (mostly sweeping and wiping down the kitchen counters/stovetop, taking out trash, plus all her own and the baby's dishes) but per the very explicit rules about the kind of tasks you are allowed to assign them, we don't ask her to do anything not directly child-related.[/quote]
