"do u ever put your hob racks in the dishwasher , cos theyre a bit greasy like"
ermmm yes ok, after Ive cleaned up 6 days of vomit and lost 48-72 hrs of sleep in this house since you last came.
"why dont you put your oven bits in the dishwasher too , they could do with a brighten"
errrrrrrr why dont you clean them then
"ermmm I dont like them toilet ducks , havent you got a brush"
errrr no theyre revolting.
HMMMM wondered why my loos never looked great after.
Never mind they know Ive had difficult back problems during and since being pregnant, never mind this is my home and my life, never mind I should in no way have to justify how I live and what I do. Every time they come , everything's tidy ,all put away and yes lately Ive been at home alot when they come , but we worked on a system so we didnt clash in the same rooms.
and its doesnt stop there they also have great advice for my 6mth old dd2 too :
"ehhh look she wants to walk , why dont you put her in a walker"
" she might like some sweet tea in her bottle , my girls loved that"
OH and for me too, Ive got a childcare student helping me out , which my loon of a HV helped me out with getting. The only sensible thing she did btw !!!and the cleaners just dont get it, the poor girls been given the national inquisition too
too me , as Im having help "are you going back to work then?"
to her " ahhh your still here" , you not being paid? "
There's soo much more over the last few months and its all coming to me now, but I didnt even realise what an imposition they were in my own home , until the lovely girl whos helping me, noticed their stance.
Thank you for having taken the time to read , I know Im very lucky to be able to have help like this and I know many others are not as fortunate, but every week I almost dread them coming , even though its such a relief to see the house done by lunchtime.
