[quote=Anonymous]Just make one big executive list including things that can be done anytime she has free time such as:
-taking the car to the car wash
-cleaning out fridge
-checking household supplies for restocking
-going through and donating old toys
-going through and donating small clothes
-checking if kids have clothes for next season (boots, hats, snow pants, swim suit, sun hats, whatever) and ordering if not
-checking school calendar for anything upcoming like purple day or halloween party and making sure you have the supplies

If you just make an exhaustive list for her to refer to at anytime, that should solve your problem. It's hard to step into a new family and house and know exactly how they like things. I've worked for families that did not want me to pick out the kids coats and boots for example because the mom was that much of a micromanager and then other families and are like we don't care do it all! Some moms like to handle all the meal prep, some families are very picky, others are easy and happy for any food. It takes a bit to learn the nuances of the family and home. I was with my last family for 8.5. years and when I switched to my current family they were SO different in the flow of their household that it took me. along while to adjust but all is well now.[/quote]
