[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes, if you frame the conversation as "working together" instead of "working for" it helps. We have one toddler. I do her laundry twice a week, usually once on weekends, and them I leave the unfolded laundry for the AP to fold and put away on Monday. Our AP complained that we were "saving" laundry for her to fold/put away over the weekend. I then explained that the housecleaner and I trade off week's on cleaning toddler's room and bathroom, but if she preferred to scrub toilet/bathtub, and dust/mop, we could trade tasks. I explained there are multiple child-related tasks (some fun, some not fun), and that everyone has to pitch in to get them done. I explained that we need to start cleaning and disinfecting the playroom more than usual, and I asked her if she preferred to spritz or put toys away. She chose putting away, so I spritzed.[/quote]
