Why do I feel guilty?

I'm starting to find hoovering, particularly stairs, and cleaning kitchen floors and bathrooms difficult to do.
Dread the thought of a cleaner coming in. Some folk I have heard of seem to clean and tidy up before cleaner arrives!

I don't feel guilty, but I couldn't possibly just sit there while they're working. So I get more done!

As I write this there are two men outside cleaning my gutters and fascias. I'm very grateful to them but am longing for them to finish so that I can water the garden/have some breakfast/fill the bird feeders/etc. I can't relax!

I don’t like people in my home at any time. Necessary evil. No guilt involved.

It’s just considerate of you to let him get on with his job without feeling you’re supervising him. I do the same when DH is doing whatever he does in the garden.

I hateanyone working in my house or garden . DH would love to have a cleaner and I just cannot bear it .

I agree, I am usually glued to my computer.

I'm the same. Whenever the gardener arrives I seem to be sitting in the same chair. I think oh dear he must think I haven't moved since last week. Also feel awkward when having workmen indoors. Difficult to know what to do. Sometimes I check emails or do the filing. Anything so as not to appear idle??

Always been the same MissFoodLove, I can’t settle in my home either if workmen come in, obviously they have to occasionally, I think it’s quite common though to feel like this,

Same here, I used to go out or retreat to the bedroom.

Yes - makes me feel like Lady Muck.

Me too.

Not just you , I find I feel the same.
