[QUOTE="Fran, post: 556310, member: 3"] It's a slippery slope. It's possible to have overly high expectations. This isn't their home and they aren't going to care for your stuff like you would. No one is going to wash the floors as well as you do but it's better than not being done at all. Expectations have to be clear. They would clean bathrooms, kitchen and other rooms once a week, maybe take trash out and do dishes but they will not be attending to everyone's demands every day. The other alternative would be they would give you 2 hrs 5 days a week to do chores. It would have to be clear what responsibilities you expect and how often. Clear expectations for both of you would be the only way this would work. Also being physically too close can cause friction. If it's a student and they are studying but the noise from tv is too loud, what happens? You have to set things up for success or it will be a nightmare. Also, things break. Having an understanding of this helps you not want to explode when an honest accident happens. [/QUOTE]
