My stepmother would plump up the cushion people were sitting against every time they leaned forward to flick the ash off their cigarettes. My SIL told me the new girl across the road was dirty because she had been there a whole week and not washed the curtains once! She also ironed socks! We used to say that I should live next door to her so she could do my house as well.
I am more of a bull in the china shop cleaner. I used to rush round like crazy when I was in the mood and do the whole house in one go. Don’t have the energy to do that now. Had just persuaded OH that a cleaner would be a good idea (and a cruise) but the virus has put paid to that.
OH has always done his share of housework if and when we were both working. His mother and grandmother were horrified that he even changed nappies for his own children.
