[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would talk to her and tell her all the positives of what you appreciate about her but then get to -- how you're relying on her & when she no shows,  the kids can't get ready for their sports & you don't even know until it's late. Tell her that I'm sorry but it's not going work if she does this once more. 
I don't understand the kitchen thing but to each his own. Do you just leave everything from the night before? [/quote]

Thank you. This is good advice. We run out the door at 7am for three drop offs so she cleans up after breakfast and does meal prep for dinner [/quote]

Got it. I'm usually a softee but No Show, No Call, Unexpectedly Late would unhinge me & force me to set a firm deadline without guilt. It's worse to not know if you have help that day than to know you don't for certain and need to find some.

Maybe she will get back on track but if she doesn't at least you'll know that you're in the market again. 
Sometimes I've been too understanding & when I've reminded people of the impact of them not fulfilling their responsibilities, they've shaped up. Especially when they realized their job was in danger. [/quote]

OP thanks yes the not knowing is the worst. We have such a tight schedule and the challenge is that I never actually see her to have a conversation about it or to give her any feedback at all. But it’s only been a few months and with less hours more stuff is falling through the cracks so I’ll call her this evening and let her know we need a minimum number of hours. Then if she can’t stick to that I’ll figure out a replacement [/quote]
