cleaning

[Guest guest]

When I clean my house I can get quite upset and angry. The more I vacuum and

dust, the more resentful and angry I become at nada. I start playing old tapes

in my head. I can get pretty worked up at times and extremely stressed out. I

know it goes back to when I was a kid and a teenager. Nada always complained

that nobody ever helped her, she worked too hard and she didn't like cleaning

the house, but someone had to do it and she was the only one who could do it

right. When I did vacuum or dust to help her out, it was never good enough. She

would rant and rave what a rotten job I did, point out every mistake, tell me

what I missed and should have done, and then redo everything I did while I stood

there and watched.

When I got a little older she had a housekeeping service that came each week.

Things were okay for a few months and then she started calling the owner

everytime the lady left to complain how things were not done properly. Several

times the owner came to our house to inspect the cleaning. One time, the owner

even cleaned the house again herself to appease nada. The next time nada called

to complain, the cleaning service sent back her check and refused any further

business with her.

I've always been curious, am I the only one who has issues with cleaning?
