My husband's family are obsessed with cleaning and it's driving me crazy. I've previously been quite live and let live about it so if they want to clean their house all day that's their choice but I don't want them criticising my home, but they have started criticising. I got a new kitchen and one of them said 'you'd better cl.. look after it' and I know she was about to say 'you'd better clean it'.
It was such an unfair thing to say because I'm not dirty and quite like cleaning but I am a bit untidy but I've seen homes that are way more untidy than mine.
I don't know what their problem is.
Them going on about it has also brought about a change in my own behaviour which I'm annoyed at myself at but can't seem to rectify it. Basically, through them going on about cleaning, it's actually made me less interested in cleaning our house even though I love my home and want to make it nice. I've ended up doing less cleaning because I know that the odd fly on the windowsill would still be pointed at.
