[quote=Anonymous]For about a month when DS was 2, we went through a stressful time.  Work was crazy for both of us, my dad was having some health problems, and DHS mom was in and out of the hospital for some complications related to surgery.   There were times we forgot to empty/load the dishwasher and I'll admit there was a time or two I forgot I had started a laundry and left clothes in the dryer.

But we always told DS ' nanny (who knew the family situation we were dealing with) "sorry.  The dishwasher and sink are full.  Just leave the dishes from today in the sink and we will run it later" or "I'm sorry.  I forgot I was doing laundry last night so the dryer is full.  Just skip DS' laundry, I'll throw it in later".

A couple of times she did the laundry/dishes anyways which was a huge help.  And we gave her a thank you gift later.  And then it never happened again.  I think addressing it with her, her knowing our minds were on anything but household stuff, and making sure it never happened again ensured there were no hard feelings.  She was with us for another 4 years, so she must have been happy[/quote]
