[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I do light housekeeping for my employers very happily. I also do it very quickly and efficiently and end up still getting to enjoy a good stretch of downtime during most days. If the toddler naps for 3 hours and I get everything done in 45 minutes, I do enjoy that extra time to rest, call Comcast (which is becoming a weekly event at our house), clean up my inbox, and so on. If the only acceptable alternative for my MB is to add odd jobs to my list or to do my assigned tasks more slowly so no one feels "cheated," I'll move on to a different position. [/quote]

This is fine and NOT what MBs are talking about or what the nap time is my time poster wants. The nap time is my time poster does not want to work quickly. She wants no tasks so she gets the entire nap time  and no work. There also is the problem of nannies who try to pretend that they are spending [b]15 hours a week sorting winter/summer seasonal clothes[/b] so they can't do laundry or meal prep.

If you can get your light housekeeping tasks (which actually are light housekeeping tasks) done in 45 minutes because you work fast, more power to you! Its the do nothing types that moms avoid not high energy people who work efficiently. [/quote]

:lol: at 15 hours sorting clothes. It takes me 20 minutes, tops, even when the kids "help."

And I completely see what you're saying. I do wonder if there are some crossed wires in some of these threads though, because I have definitely posted before advocating for getting to put my feet up for a bit when I have time for it, without clarifying that I do, in fact, do quite a lot of household tasks before that. I suspect some other posters are in the same boat and it's leading to frustrating interactions where we all just aren't on the same page / being quite clear enough.[/quote]
