When you have playdates or have a friend babysit, do you always help clean up before leaving?
Just curious...
ETA: Ok, that's what I do to, I always clean up regardless if the mom says oh its ok (I think she's just being nice)
I guess it annoys me that I do and my friend asked me watch her son 6x in two weeks because they're remodeling...and when she picks him up, she NEVER picks up anything  yet I always help pick up there.
I mean last night was kind of ridiculous, my DD was already in bed, her son was still here, he pulled out all the DVD's (just like my DD does) and megablocks, and when she picked him up she was like, awww, did you pull all of these out? and left them there
SERIOUSLY!?!?!?! I mean, I am watching your son as a favor, you could at least help pick up! Especially since its the end of the semester for me...work and grading, its busy. UGH
Thanks for letting me vent

Yes, I always try and feel guilty when they say "Don't worry, I got it". LOL

I always do, even when they say don't worry about it. That's just me i like to leave a place how i found it.
Only when we go to my SIL's do i make my DD help clean but don't make her clean up the whole thing, bc the play room is a disaster when we get there from SIL DS. So while we clean up what we mess up and some of the other, that is the only place i dont feel guilty about leaving with a mess on the floor, because when we leave, it's still in better condition than when we arrived.

I try to clean up as best possible. When I have playdates here I (and the other moms) usually go into the playroom a few minutes before everyone is ready to leave and help the kids clean up a bit. I think it's good to teach kids to clean up after themselves.

Ditto! If I have my kids clean up their own mess in our home, I will have them do the same at other people's houses as well.

I would try to help even though they tell me no. But when I tell people no, I really mean NO. lol
