And that for some reason, I am the only one in a house of 4 who can use a vacuum, sweep a floor, empty a dishwasher, clean a shower etc etc etc. Yet id be a little lost if they lived elsewhere.... but just a day or two here n there without their messes to contend with would be rather nice. I hope the jam was enjoyed and appreciated :)Linda Eggletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15500004264240462551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-81996088860078553512014-06-08T23:38:48.963+02:002014-06-08T23:38:48.963+02:00I don't know whether to laugh or cry on this o...I don't know whether to laugh or cry on this one! Kids can be so frustrating at times!! I am OCD about mess so it's difficult for me to bear - I have no problem with anyone making a mess as long as ALL traces of it are gone before they leave the room LOLElla Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15513756748890808997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-28132817309370829762014-06-06T11:40:33.496+02:002014-06-06T11:40:33.496+02:00LOL....Lynette...the joys and the sorrows...all ro...LOL....Lynette...the joys and the sorrows...all rolled into one! That's just how a household is...sometimes it's all fun and laughter and sometimes tears too. I have also given up on a tidy house (mostly) with a boy and 2 dogs and hubby....but then other days I also have a moan and groan. Weekends are the worst...I want to just chill and then end up also cleaning and picking up...after everyone else! Amazing how we women can't stand the mess and the others don't even see it! ;-)Denise van Deventerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897595163306511834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-37448148804946357082014-06-04T13:56:37.957+02:002014-06-04T13:56:37.957+02:00My friend I promise you she is an eye roller...but...My friend I promise you she is an eye roller...but I guess she learned it from me.Lynette Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008748483680810943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-21927109825238841272014-06-04T13:54:28.268+02:002014-06-04T13:54:28.268+02:00LOL...well, I shouldn't, but I am.

My hubby is very strict though and will insist that I leave it and make her do it when she gets back from wherever she is. I just want to keep the peace as I think my nest won't be empty for at least the next 5 years! She has a heart of gold and makes up for it in so many other ways. :) xxMarelizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17514910584284301308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-43154575911407289962014-06-02T13:59:55.091+02:002014-06-02T13:59:55.091+02:00Ah yes, I think all mom's have had these momen...Ah yes, I think all mom's have had these moments. Our children were younger at the time, but I so clearly remember an incident of a checking on a "napping" child to find my MIL's pure white spare bedroom covered in red lipstick. Our Lord blessed and we got it all off the walls, and out of the bedspread, carpet, and chair pad. I was never so mortified, but look back on it with a smile now. Thanks for sharing the ups and downs of life. ~ Blessings, Tracey<br /> <br /><a href="http://gracescraps.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Garden of Grace</a><br />gracescraps@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646713118809880180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-91797809311138750732014-06-02T13:37:04.792+02:002014-06-02T13:37:04.792+02:00Haar hart is op die regte plek.

I constantly have to fight with my girls when they lived at home, and then the 2 fight who was the last who put away dishes, and when they gone to college, I missed them dearly. Now when they come back different time, the younger one is doing good, I cooked and she will do the dishes. My older girl is now here for a week with her boyfriend, well, she cooks and make the bf do all the dishes but I still have to tell her that she missed the counter and not putting back the baking tray, that how it is, I refused to do it, my husband sometimes did just because he doesn't want Clare and me to "get into a fight" over dishes, but stay firm with my principle, if you used MY kitchen, you gotta to clean up the way I want it period! Big hug to you!
