Let me give you an example, and please believe me when I tell you that I had NO intentions on posting this picture, but my friend Sio basically forced me into it. She saw it in my living room and said "Oh you have to blog about that." At first I was like, "No, I'm embarrassed, everyone will know I'm a terrible housekeeper." But the more I talked with her, the more I realized that the house is NOT just my house. The residents of my house really DO need to help me keep it clean. And that's why I asked 15 to please get a dust rag and some Pledge and clean the bottom of the coffee table. Instead, I found this:
For those of you who can't read it, it says "My mom is a shitty housekeeper" |
Perhaps the next time I ask you to do something, you will forgo writing your opinions on the dust and just clean it up so I don't have to call you out on my blog.
By the way, if you look REALLY closely, you can see cat paw prints in the dust. Dumbass just wanted to leave her mark in the dust to remind me why I call her Dumbass.
Don't feel too bad. I have two daughters, 6 & 10, that think house work is akin to catching scurvy.
ReplyDeleteI had to get them a sledge hammer & a chisel to clean the dust off the TV stand.
I'll bet they can write some interesting stuff in that dust!
DeleteYour house is perfect! Trust me - I clean other people's houses! If 15 does that again - tell her I'm taking her to one of the nastiest messes I clean regularly!!!
ReplyDeleteWith PLEASURE, Joy!!! It's deliciously evil!
DeleteSeriously. If you have children and your house is super clean, then I would think you are a weirdo. Yep, a cleaning weirdo. Let sleeping dust lie.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, Pippi!
DeleteI can't begin to tell you how lucky you are not to have a teenaged BOY...think about it....BOY. Yeah, gross, really gross.
ReplyDeleteIf the dust on the coffee table were pee on the bathroom floor, I doubt that 15 would have written "ew" in it (or anything else for that matter). That's what my 14 gets to clean from now on. If he can't improve his aim, he can clean the shrapnel.
