[quote=Anonymous]Wastefulness irritates me too, but i am not sure that it is something that can be remediated. It is worth trying, but I think it is likely that you two are not a good match. You could try something like: "I am still working on how to manage the household with a nanny in the mix, and learning as I go. One of the issues I've noticed is that I buy supplies, and you use them, and sometimes things get confused, because I don't clearly communicate the purpose of various items. So, for example, Brita water is for everyday and bottled water is for emergencies. And, craft supplies are meant to be for a month of projects with special items like googly eyes and stickers being used a little at a time. Do you have any suggestions for how we can improve our communication?" Maybe with you taking responsibility for "not communicating" she will make an effort and not get too defensive. Good luck![/quote]
