[quote=noveltyjunkie]Moms can really mess with their daughters' heads! Try not to get too caught up in the need for your mother's approval. How about telling her you would have cleaned if you had not just been operated on?!
And remember, you don't want her to clean it for you....you'll never be able to find anything! "Neat freaks" usually want it done the right way...their way! However, if your Mom is not like that, and you can supervise, she might just be a big help. When I had my third baby, I actually checked myself out a couple of days early so I could come home and clean and do the laundry....because my inlaws were on their way! LOL!
