[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My baby and toddler use dishes and silverware, so emptying the dishwasher pertains to them. Also, they need to learn to play somewhat independently - you don't need to watch them right there every second. If you're getting paid that much money it would be great if you were being useful during naptimes too. How hard is it for you to just make a bed?[/quote]

"Independent Play" is not unsupervised play.  Would you ever send your toddler to a preschool where the teachers allowed your toddler to be alone or with another toddler in a room where no one was watching them?

Second, for a babies under six months old have no "object permanence" - when the baby cannot see you, hear you or feel you you no longer exist and they are alone.  Studies have proven that after ninety seconds, the baby's pulse quickens, their eyes move more rapidly and  their body temperature rises - all signs of stress and anxiety.

Third, no matter how safe you have made your play area, little ones can get into trouble.  I was sitting right next to a ten-month-old charge when he spotted an unassuming cricket before I did and had it in his hand on the way to his mouth before I could stop him.

Make you own bed, Angel.    [/quote]
