Actually, genius, a large load of laundry that is left in the wash remains quite wet. I think you're the troll here.

Your employers sound just like mine. I have been a nanny for 4 years and I have only ever done child related cleaning, laundry, ironing and cooking. I have never been asked to do anything more than this. My current employers leave their plates and pots from the previous night's dinner scattered on the counter next to the sink and they leave their dining table with food all over as well as under the table and they also leave their kitchen counters and stove dirty then expect me to have time to look after their children when they want me to be a housekeeper. They have guests staying for two weeks at present and these guests just eat and leave their dishes for me to wash. There are 4 adults in that house and none of them can manage to wash the dishes or clean the kitchen and dining room for themselves after meals. I find it utterly ridiculous. Last week on my arrival one day, the youngest child who is still in nappies had such a full nappy of wee it was drooping down and yet the female guest who was there with them didn't even bother to change the poor child. I was annoyed that she would just sit there watching her stupid TV shows and wait for me to come and change her.

So far I have been asked to clean the bathroom and iron the parents clothing. I did it on two occasions because I'm new to their family, but 2 times was more than enough. When I told employer I don't do ironing for parents under any circumstance she got upset. Last week both parents were late home 3 times out of 4 days but they didn't even call to inform me or even apologise for being late. Anyway I am writing them a very long letter informing them that I know how to do my job very well and if they doesn't like the fact that I will not clean her bathroom, sweep and mop their entire downstairs, clean her kitchen and dining room they can let me go. I really couldn't care less. I have never worked for employers like them as a nanny or otherwise. She thinks she has a built in housekeeper, but I have never been a housekeeper and have no desire to become one any time ever. They have 2 lovely children who I am perfectly happy to care for, but their parents are terrible employers. As people they are pleasant enough, but hopeless as employers as it's their very first time using child care services because the grandparents who usually care for the kids at this time did not come over on holiday this year so they advertised on child care sites.

Right. They leave two weeks laundry in the dryer for you. Sure.

I totally believe you as this has happened to me as well. Some people are just slobs.
