Can someone's over eagerness make you feel uncomfortable?

My MIL used to come and look after dd 2 days a week - I used to get up an hour early to clean the house those days - til i relaised it was never good enough and she'd re-do it. Then i started saving my mess and let her do it!!

My mum is like that. Fusses so much it's embarrassing. I try not to be like her although I do have tendencies, but it's based in insecurity and thinking people won;t like me.

But really, if people don't like me cos I haven;t dusted and don't have fruit tea, they probably aren't the sort of people I'll stay friends with anyway!

But I do find my mum's OTT fussing really embarrassing. I hate watching her be like it.

TBH, I never notice.

I never really notice when people's houses are untidy, but then when people come to mine I apologise for everything - 'Oh I'm so sorry that I haven't washed up that one mug on the side, everything's a mess!'.

I just can't help it!

In the time it took you to write all that, you could've had the house sparkingly clean lol.

Yes it can. If my host was like this, I will try telling them to chill, I am just a guest but is capable of doing things/helping out if needed. I am visiting you coz I enjoy your company not for anything else.
