Other people cleaning for you??
My MIL took this week off of work to spend with me and the kids. And she really wants to help but I feel weird telling her to clean my bathroom or whatever chores need to be done. Like she keeps offering to do the laundry but I really don't want her sorting thru my underwear plus both DH and I are really picky about how our laundry is done.
?Anyone else feel this way??
Re: Other people cleaning for you??
Well, after I had E, I let my mom clean the house after her offers. She stayed out of my bedroom and didn't do mine or J's laundry. Other than that, I welcomed the help : )
It's soooo sad!!! Society has pressures us to think that this is wrong!!
In other countries this is the norm, and I can't imagine having just given birth and cleaning (BLEH!!!)
The truth is, these people want to help, and are offering, yet we can't let go!!
I know that I couldn't let my MIL clean my house (insert laughter Val) but if my mom wanted to, I would let her (and still feel bad about it).
I know that when I was born my grandma came over to feed me bottles and change diapers and do dishes to help my mom out, so I would say, find something that you wouldn't mind having someone help with (cleaning my dirty undies....um....no) but sweeping, dusting, mirrors, trash... those would be great.
GL!!!!! Make a list of things that you need to do, and are OK with someone else doing and enjoy!!!
Ha..glad to hear I'm not the only freaky one about laundry. I just can't stand other people doing my laundry.
Now I had noooo problem letting others watch P so I could sleep. I loved it every time someone offered.
Maybe that's the prob it's m MIL, when my Mom and Dad come over I have no problem with them doing stuff. Probably because they don't really ask they just do.
She did clean the kitchen both days and boy did I feel like a bad housewife. The kitchen it 100% DH's territory. I don't know what cleaning supplies he uses, where he stores stuff.?
