They continue to provide it because every Christmas when they ask us what we want, we say "Another year of the maid!"<BR/><BR/>However, the day before the maids come, we have to thoroughly clean the house. Wouldn't want the maids to think we're dirty or anything.Childsplayx2https://www.blogger.com/profile/14862474335091243574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-38230541542144658032007-11-30T10:07:00.000-05:002007-11-30T10:07:00.000-05:00My extremely anal in-laws came up last Tues for Th...My extremely anal in-laws came up last Tues for Thanksgiving and my FIL was cleaning out my dryer vent (I can actually eat off of it) and my MIL cleaned the top of my fridge! I don't know how she can see the dust from down below. SOOOO afterward she said to me "maybe you can get a cleaner to help you with the house/laundry since you have 4 kids blah blah blah." Mind you, I think my house is not that bad but still not to their standard. Uh, and you'll be paying the bills for us then? <BR/><BR/>Good for you for getting the cleaner, don't feel guilty just sit back and relax and keep that baby nice and healthy!!wayabettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06993697296070707945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-48098071721862301992007-11-30T07:43:00.000-05:002007-11-30T07:43:00.000-05:00Don't feel guilty.

Also I hate to throw up. So much. If you've been puking many times per day for months and are still puking at least once a day then I say you do what you have to do. Let someone else clean. Of all the things on your plate that is the one you should feel the very least guilty about delegating. Do not give it another thought.

Even when I was single with no kids. <BR/><BR/>I was brought up with 2 live-in maids and a nanny. How the hell was I supposed to know how to clean? I mean, really? For me, it's worth the price, whatever it is. <BR/><BR/>Now I have a home health care worker that comes in 4 hours/week just to clean up. I love her.
