Bob might be right in that it might be time to start hiring a housecleaner again. I used to have one, but had to fire her after her assistant took some of my oxycodone. Right after that, I noticed a lot of jewelry and my Ipod missing. Of course I couldn't prove it, but I can guess who took it. Because of that my husband will have a cow when I say I want a maid again, but I just can't keep doing this.
I just don't get my kids and the mess. Everyone has vacuuming and dusting , etc but damnit, the cleanup wouldn't be so bad if they didn't just throw trash on the floor (behind the couch and tv) and if I didn't have to call them back 37 times to complete one task !!!!!!!!!
At least I'm calm about it now
I'm fantasizing about rum drinks and warm weather........

Hi Finz,
I have to agree with bobojeff....Prior to my accident I was a stay at home mom for 12 years before I went back to work so naturally everyone was very comfortable with me doing everything. It was ironic that we had this long family meeting about mom going back to work FT. Had a small schedule for he kids they where 8 and 11 so they only stayed home for an hour or so and my neighbor kept an eye. They did not do much at the time but they did it. The I had my accident 7 days later after I went back to work. I am lucky I have extremely neat husband. Would you believe we have be married for 22 years together 30 and I have never picked up a piece of clothing that's his. He does't rinse the dishes the way I do and overloads the washing machine and the clothers don't get cleaned properly, but so what. The kids just had to do things after that I think they felt so sorry for me I really suffered for a long time before the RSD even came into play, plus we traveled into Manhattan at least 1 a week at one point and we live about a hour but could take 3 if there's traffic. It was a real nightmare. But not there 16 and 19 and expecially my daughter, does her own laundry, doesn't put it away folds it and lives out of the laundry basket, my son only is aloud to put in the dryer and fold, he's a bull in a china shop kinda of kid and spins that washing machine dial so hard I'm afraid he's going to break it and then it will cost me money. And I have learned the hard way to pick my battles, it's not worth it. If there not doing drugs, getting decent grades, have goals for there life then all is fine for me. Teenagers can be tough. Good Luck
