[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How lazy are you? We are talking about 20 minutes of extra work per week. You could easily spend 20 minutes less on your cell phone and get that done.

Do you know why I get big bonuses at work and a raise every year? It's not for doing the bare minimum and complaining of something is slightly outside of my job description. [/quote]

Um... when is she on her cell phone while caring for the kids?  Doing laundry while watching kids is not like doing it when you're home alone.  It can be a real pain and challenge to carry laundry up or down stairs while you have small kids with you -- almost impossible in some cases.  And even if the kid(s) nap, that only provides one small period of the day when she can do the laundry without watching a kid at the same time, and only so many loads can be done during the period.  If it's so easy, the MB or DB should be doing it in their evening/weekend free time!

That said, I do think the OP is being a bit nit-picky.  If it's not causing you major inconvenience and you like the family, I'd let it go and focus on something more important.  You could mention during re-negotiations that you've noticed they want to you to do the towels for everyone, not just the kids, and that you'd like that explicitly written into the contract and compensated, or removed.  But I think that could come across as a bit rude, so I wouldn't do it if you want to have a good relationship and like things otherwise.[/quote]
