White Glove Treatment

When I moved into my first place on my own, my Dad walked around my place running a finger around the flat surfaces, telling me that I didn't clean enough. His behaviour made me feel awful.

Strangely enough Mum had the same thing from his mother when they moved into their house after they got married.
Parents!!!!!

How rude! Your place looks a lot like mine. My mother told me when I was a girl that I should marry someone rich so I could have a maid. Needless to say, that didn't happen. My DH didn't even have a job when we got married!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond i know! I ended up telling him if he wanted he could clean it up and handed him the duster. He snorted saying no... never did it again.
@randystreat yeah, he comments on the dust now. But I tell him no matter how often I dust, it's not me. It's because I live next to a fire station, all that diesel dust!

@kjarn true. Over the years, there's been a lot of things my Dad has had to let go of the overly tidy, dustless house he expected me to have.

there are better things to do than chase dust around.

@kali66 how true. That's why I don't do it. Besides I could be getting rid of one of one of my friends seeing dust is skin particles.
