[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I readily admit that I leave my coffee cup on the side every weekday morning.

I do that because I leave the house before the AP starts work and her first duty is to empty the dishwasher.  This is our division of part of the family kitchen chores during the week:
She empties dishwasher first thing in the morning from dinner the night before
She loads breakfast dishes and dishes used to make lunches
She loads the kids lunch stuff after school as well as her lunch dishes
She runs the dishwasher
I empty the dishwasher
I make dinner
Kids/husband/I clean up after dinner including loading and running the dishwasher.

This might blow your minds but sometimes I even leave a dirty spoon that I used to eat my yogurt.  And I make my AP put that in the dishwasher too!  AP abuse!  Call the State Department!!![/quote]

Same, except we usually only run the dishwasher once, overnight, so the ap’s job is to unload in the mornings. The kids help. And then she is supposed to clean up the breakfast dishes, but she always leaves a few that clearly she thinks were “used” by host parents. [/quote]
