[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids want to extend, I’m leaning toward no. They think she is nice and don’t like change. I like having a driver and a clean roommate. But I wish I had someone who was more proactive and engaged with the kids. Kids are in elementary school so driving is very important.

Pro:
Good driver
Packs kid snacks for school and helps clean up kitchen after breakfast 
Ok with schedule changes if advanced notice
Relatively clean rooomate and pleasant personality
Does kid laundry
Nice person
Likes the kids

Cons:
Won’t do more than the minimum- and if you want her to do more you need to micromanage 
Doesn’t really want to be part of the family/disappears as soon as shift is over and doesn’t come to family functions 
Will play with kids only if they specifically ask for a game- otherwise she is more of an observer in their play
When the going gets tough (morning routine, meltdown she goes off to do a task that is not important for that moment rather than helping.

Thoughts?

I work from home and have had two snow days here with her and the kids. My AP is literally a potato. Does nothing. I'm working and have to direct her to engage with the kids. [/quote]
