What were the circs?
I had to get up and leave the dinner table last night and spend an hour reading in my room when my dh and my dmother decided to have a little go at me about how untidy our house is. I am 50 years old ffs and I have ALWAYS been untidy. The house is clean and everyone is well fed and has clean clothes and beds and towels. 95% of that is down to me and the cleaner so dh can go swivel if he thinks I am going to spend my life putting everyone's stuff away for them on top of that! My mum chipped in "I'd hate to be your cleaner".
At that point she had just finished the fourth festive evening meal I had cooked for everyone in a row, having also done ALL of the food shopping as dh worked not only on Christmas Eve but also on the Sunday before. I also did 80% of the present shopping and wrapping, bought all the cards and stamps, got the tree, decorated it and put the decorations up.
I was about to lose it so had to leave the room to cool down.
Anyone else?
