[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I'm curious. Your post title makes is sound as though your MB is a single parent. Is that the case?  You also said "Ahh.. if I could change ONE thing, it would be for them to pick up after themselves more.." If she's not the only adult in the house, why would you place all the responsibility for tidiness on her?

If the children aren't infants, there is no reason that they can't be helping to clean up.  I've worked for a single parent before, but the kids had chores.  It's not that the parent should clean everything, but she should definitely figure out how to have everything cleaned without leaving it for the nanny.[/quote]

Here is something I don't get.  If the nanny is the "primary caregiver" as I have been told again and again on this forum, then why isn't the nanny responsible for teaching the kids how to do their chores and getting them to do them?  [/quote]

Haha because no one showed the parents to clean up after themselves.

It's not just the kids toys it the crap the parents leave out.

I know let's teach the kids to clean up after their lazy ass parents. [/quote]

I have no problem teaching the kids to clean up after themselves.  But not all parents allow the nanny to do that.[/quote]
Anyone who's looking to the parents to "allow" her to teach the children to clean up after themselves, isn't a nanny.

I'd immediately depart from a family who complained about that. Why bother wasting your time with them? They're hopeless.

I did leave, less than 2 weeks after I was reprimanded for asking their elementary aged sons to pick up the dirty clothes on their bedroom floor before we left for school.  However, I know that they got another nanny.  Lesson learned, I now ask what chores the kids have, and whether I'm allowed to have them do any tidying.  You wouldn't believe the excuses parents give as to why their precious children aren't old enough, mature enough or don't have time.[/quote]
