You'll have to forgive me for actually putting effort into running my household, although I understand why scratching your ass and throwing feces might be more appealing to your sort.[/quote]

Did someone actually write this? Wow. [/quote]

I kinda don't blame OP.  She was just asking a question.  the 7 year HM didn't have to be so obnoxious.  JUst answer the question.  [/quote]

I think the question is totally fine.  It's always fine to ask more experienced HP their opinion.  And it's totally fine to expect your AP to keep the kids area tidy, do the kids laundry, make their meals and pick up after themselves.  All of that is a no brainer.  But... are you going to be around while she's doing those things, as in, will she be doing the "work" while you play with the kids?  I can see an AP getting disgruntled because they would rather "play" too.    Make sure any AP you bring into your home understands that they will be doing a lot of housework (within the confines of the program).
