Do I need to get a grip?
MIL, SIL, SIL's OH and Baby (8 months) have been house sitting from Mon-Fri
We have 1 dopey dog (Giant breed mutt aged 3 he spends most of the time drooling and sleeping) & 1 very cuddly cat
2 bedroomed semi-detached house, which I left in immaculate condition.
I have come back to a bomb-site and actually I am pissed off as I am spending the first day back from holiday cleaning to get things back in order.
Examples:
My SIL smokes and there are fag butts on the floor around outside (My OH smokes but puts them in the plant pot we have for this purpose)
The Kitchen is disgusting, not one surface is clean and a pile of rubbish is on the side
Lots of general mess such as empty pop bottles, cups etc lying around
Books from the bookcases in odd places (absolutely fine with them reading it but put them back!)
For some bizarre reason the cutlery drawer has been turned around.
I could go on and on, I keep discovering more as the day goes on. It is just really annoying, I know I should be grateful that they have looked after the dog, although he has been mostly locked out of the way of baby (I do understand that and he is used to being put away while we are at work) but I am really upset that I have come home to do all this.
I really didn't expect it to be the same as I left it, I know I am a perfectionist, but I did expect it to be clean and relatively tidy, was that too much to ask?
