MIL Confession

Mine is currently cleaning my house.

Including the windows.

And the baseboards.

Things I never clean myself.

 

And I am at a coffee shop, preparing lectures. 

 

 Granted, she OFFERED because I've been so sick that the smell of just about anything sends me to the bathroom, but I felt bad saying yes.  My parents are coming next weekend and I was hoping I would feel better this week to get it done myself, but that doesn't seem likely yet, so DH insisted.

I am worried about how disgusting she will find things.

 And I am worried that she will use it against me in the future.

But mostly, I am thrilled.

Re: MIL Confession

  • Good for you! Enjoy your time "off" :)
  • That is fantastic.  I've considered asking my MIL (a total clean freak) to help us out with windows/deep cleaning, but I'm too afraid of the judgement.  I keep things extremely tidy, but don't deep clean anywhere near as often as she does.

  • Take advantage of it!  Right after my D&C mom offered to help, I asked her to clean my bathroom.  She felt useful.

    My confession? I'm kind of sad mine never offered. My MIL and my SIL's mil cleaned her whole house for at least 4 months. Granted, she was sick, and I'm not. But still!! The offer would have been nice Stick out tongue

    Enjoy it! Hopefully this will give you some time to finalize all your prep work for the course.
