AIBU to fire my cleaner

I’ve had a cleaner for 2 years. To be honest she isn’t actually very good at cleaning, but she’s nice and she’s friendly with DS and the dog and with a toddler I am not keen on the hassle of replacing her etc.

However she is often late- like 40 mins or so late (and sometimes this doesn’t matter but sometimes I have people coming and it does actually mess up my plans), and today she just didn’t show up at all. I asked if she wanted some time off over Christmas (she comes twice a week), and she asked for a day off for NYE, which would be Tuesday, a day she usually comes. She is also supposed to come today and didn’t. I’m pregnant, vomiting all day and tired and very fucking pissed off because I get the impression she just doesn’t want to be here/doesn’t really give a shit about her job.

AIBU to let her go over this? Feels especially awkward as she has a set of keys...

So now the cleaning lady is called a burglar as well? Nice!

Everything is irrelevant really ie turning up late/not turning up because she's a rubbish cleaner. Tell her you don't want her to continue working for you and you need your keys returned. You're wasting your money by employing a bad cleaner...!!! There's some really good professional cleaners out there (in your area) who'll absolutely take away the burden and hard work of keeping your house nipping clean. They'll give you a price for your current home then when you move to your new house they'll adjust the price accordingly...Get Googling now for local cleaners....!!!!!!!

If your hairdresser kept cutting your hair wonky after cancelling would you keep going back ? Stop paying this disrespectful muppet.
