Keeping house like my mum

AlwaysHappy

Having commented unkindly (but truthfully) about my Mum earlier on the thread, today have realised I am not entirely without sin myself and have blitzed my sons room (with his help and agreement) and sorted out a bag of recycling, a bag for the charity shop and a bag for the bin. It has now made me want to get on top of my paperwork - I may never be seen again!!!

If I go to a home like the place I grew up, I always wonder if they hide the same secrets as my mother did. I'll bet that a clean house is a rare thing for a social worker to step foot in when rescuing an abused child. Not unheard of, but less frequent than a hovel.

So, if you believe that it doesn't really matter what your home is like, and that everyone will just see you for the person you are - be warned.

I think your story is really sad but I just wanted to say for the benfit of good mums with messy houses that my mum is a social worker and she says there's just as many horrid secrets behind sparkling white net curtains as grubby ones.

Celyn 90 - glad I'm not alone!!

I'm on school hols at mo and my 'reward' next week after spending best part of a couple of weeks blitzing EVERYWHERE is to go in my super organised and sparkly craft room and making lots of cards and laoyouts.

I am feeling quite smug at the mo because I've thrown loads of paperwork out and done lots of cleaning - been very like my mum with the 'bleach' - if it stayed still it was bleach cleaned to within an inch of it's life - everything smells 'clean' - if only it would stay like this. I tend to let it go and is very 'lived in' the rest of the year but do try during the summer hols.
