[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - you titled this a weird request because it is one.  If my nanny asked, I wouldn't say no but frankly I'd feel a little taken advantage of and I'd wonder about her judgment.  For FWIW, doing laundry at their house is free for you but not for them.  Your employers pay for water and electricity every time you run the laundry, not to mention the wear and tear to the applicances.  Obviously that is not a significant cost but doing several loads a week for a long period of time is definitely a cost and it looks immature to ask.  [/quote]

I agree - I'd say yes if you asked, because seriously, how would you say no?  It's not like it would a huge cost, but it's certainly not free.  It's not like it would take a lot of time, but unless you're asking if you could do it after hours, you're essentially asking me if I can pay you to your own laundry.  I would feel like you were taking advantage of our family's generosity.  OP, it's only $12 a week.  Cut it down to one load and it's only $6 a week.  Or go to a laundromat that's cheaper.  Or pack your lunch one additional time per week instead of eating out.  Or cut out one trip to Starbucks a week.  Surely you can come up with a way to absorb an additional $6 a week that doesn't involve taking advantage of your employer?[/quote]
