[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, ask her how she envisioned her role evolving. If she is willing to clean, but not do adult laundry, or is happy to run errands but dislikes cooking dinner daily, are you willing to adapt and compromise?

FWIW, my counter offer to you would be: I add kid laundry, grocery shopping, running errands, and meal planning/cooking simple meals for dinner 3x/week to my responsibilities all weeks that your kids are in school. In exchange, I want to have a set day every week when I come in to work at 2:00, with the exception of weeks with school holidays and the summer. Pay stays the same, and I also get 2 additional days of PTO. Additional responsibilities take a back seat to childcare when there is no school. [/quote]

Why would any family accept your CO?  You're asking to have your hours cut 7 of 50 hours a week and for the remaining 28 hours that you work without any kids around (OP mentioned kids are not around 7 hours/day, * 4 days), you'll have enough to do to fill up maybe one-third of those hours, yet you want the same pay.  You are entitled to counter with whatever you want, but I'm assuming you think this is a reasonable counter.  This is why there is such a disconnect between employers and employees, people are completely clueless that their expectations are so out there.[/quote]
