My mum has a cleaner a couple of hours a week. She is retired but able bodied, she just likes not having to worry about cleaning. Recently I have mentioned that I'm concerned about money being part time. She has offered for me to replace her cleaner, and be paid slightly more too. I have declined as I would clean her house for free if it helped her out and she would let me, but she won't have it. She said she would rather I had the money than the cleaner. I just feel uncomfortable taking money from her, also what if my standards aren't as good as the cleaners and I know my mum wouldn't tell me? She has also put looked after DS to allow me to work and never expected a penny, but again she said that's irrelevant and it's totally different as she loves having him. I don't know what to do - the extra money for a couple of hours a week would be great but I feel uncomfortable about it.
