[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the question in the title of this thread, no they do not all start strong then slack off.

I have been with my current family four years.  I would say it is just the opposite.  Now that I have been with the family for a while, I know where the pots and pan are, and the spices, etc.  so I can whip up a meal much more quickly than in my early days with this family.  If there is a spill, I know where the towels and mops and brooms are.  I know how to work the washer and dryer and microwave much better than when I first started with them.  
I know the kids and the parents and their personalities and we all know our expectations of each other.  It's a much smoother operation than in the early days. [/quote] This has been my experience too. Things usually start out rougher and then smooth out as everyone gets comfortable with each other. I think a lot of moms don't realize what it's like to go into someone else's home and work. Some people are totally fine with XYZ and others will flip out about the same thing. What seems like common sense to you might be the exact opposite to someone else. It takes courage to walk into someone else's kitchen and start opening drawers, cabinets and fridges to find what you need and then use it. It takes courage to go into someone else's bedroom to find the blanket the kid can't sleep without. It takes courage to transfer someone else's underwear from the washer to the dryer so you can run a load of diapers. Let that sink in for a while, OP.[/quote]
