[quote=Anonymous]Eh.

If he makes the conscious choice to ALWAYS leave things for her to clean up, she might get fed up. If he's having a hectic morning now and again, I'm sure she'll happily overlook it.

Basically a good rule is to do as much as you can while you're on duty and expect the nanny to do as much as SHE can while she's on duty. She won't leave you a sink full of bottles at the end of the day, so don't leave one for her at the beginning of the day. She won't let the kid sit in a poopy diaper (even for two minutes) so someone else can change him, so neither should you. And so on - leave your home how you expect her to leave it at the end of the day, while still being adults and remembering that some days are tougher than others and not everything always gets done.

But, yeah, you should speak to your husband? Not sure what other thoughts you're looking for - you need to make sure he's clear that the nanny is on duty WHILE SHE IS ON DUTY and not before or after (I guess with the exception of laundry? though my NF does laundry as much as they can and so do I - that way we never get behind).[/quote]
