First time posting on this topic so be kind. Sorry if this is TMI but its what I am experiencing at the moment.
We have fallen on hard times recently so I have swallowed my pride and have picked up a bit of cleaning in our local village. It started off with one friend who passed my details to another friend etc etc. I am now working about 15 hours a week while my little ones are at school.
There is one lady I work for who appears to be struggling a little. I go there once a fortnight for 3 hours and typically there will be a weeks worth of washing up to get through before I get to do anything else. The place is a tip I spend a fair amount of time tidying and picking toys etc off the floors so I can get the hoover round - and thats fine she is paying me after all! But I am struggling with the dirty (poo) nappies lying round the rooms I am cleaning, the used tampons thrown at the bin rather than in the bin, used condoms in various waste paper bins throughout the house, and the worst today...as I peel back her sheets to change the bed linen.. an enormous recently used dildo! I mean - I understand that it is their private bedroom etc etc - but AIBU to think I shouldn't have to see it, let alone touch it (to obviously move it so I can make the bed)? Couldn't it be discreetly placed in a drawer so I don't have to see it or move it? I just think it is too much.
To be honest I don't think I can go back but I am wondering what I can say. Obviously all the families I work for are connected in some way and I couldn't say I had found a job in my field as she would know that I was still with the other families. I thought about saying I had hurt my back but of course I would still be working for the other families so that wouldn't work. I wouldn't bring up why really as don't want to cause embarrassment.
They are seemingly otherwise nice people although her son has made a few comments that she has just let go like "make sure you clean my bedroom really well." He is 4 so I let it go to but WWYD?
In a previous life we had cleaners and would clean and tidy before they arrived so I realise I might be expecting too much but AIBU???
