I used to be pretty good at keeping our house clean and tidy, but at the moment I just can't muster the energy, or time away from the toilet (vomiting) to do it. And my cooking, which used to be my favourite thing ever (may have had something to do with the glass of wine I'd have while I was cooking!) is now the biggest chore of all.... I want my life back!!!]]> Wed, 05 Oct 2005 09:26:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=977&PID=16396&title=help-from-mother-in-law#16396 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=977&PID=16395&title=help-from-mother-in-law#16395 Author: Roksana

I scrub both my bathroom's every week....I am getting slower and slower at it. Hubby says I should leave the spare bathroom as no one uses it...but I ....just cant!!!


I am forever wiping, cleaning, washing....I was always a tidy person but never a freak!!!

Yeah we moved a couple of weeks before you. Totally feels like home now. I too have been totally obsessed with the cleaning lately and desperately want everything to be "ready", tho there isnt anything left to do now except wait now the babys room is ready. Need to stock up the cupboards and freezer a bit too.]]> Tue, 04 Oct 2005 16:37:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=977&PID=16357&title=help-from-mother-in-law#16357 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=977&PID=16352&title=help-from-mother-in-law#16352 Author: Roksana

No I wont get paid for those few hours....I am just helping out. I told them if some weeks I cant work....I wont.

Yah well still trying to sort things out for the house, we recently spend soooo much. We bought outdoor furniture, BBQ, Spare bed, a display cabinet, garden shed, garage storage cabinet.....and the list goes on...and even then you are like, damn we dont have this....However we are settled in.

I think I have what the call "nesting period" and cleaning like a mad woman and want every thing to be perfect. Must admit that hubby has been very patient with my .

How abt you Aimee, cause you also moved in not so long ago?

I am so glad everything has worked out for you Have you got everything for your house and are you all settled in? Am very glad you'll have a comp at home when you finish. Are you getting 13 weeks paid parental leave? If so, does working a few hours change what you get?

yah I am getting a laptop from work, as I will be doing a few hours a week to help out....and hubby just bought a comp so will let you know as soon as we are back home from Hospital or will get hubby to log on.....

We are good, the relationship between hubby and his mum has become much better and it is as if we were always living seperate.....MIL and I never had any problems before and it remains the same. She has accepted the fact that this is what is happeneing and seems happy enough with it. We visit and have dinner once every other week and they come over to have dinner at our place. She said however that she wont come to my place now for dinner, as she does not want me to over work in my last few weeks.....

Hubby and I are just great...he has been a sweetheart!!! ]]> Tue, 04 Oct 2005 11:36:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=977&PID=16322&title=help-from-mother-in-law#16322 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=977&PID=16313&title=help-from-mother-in-law#16313 Author: aimeejoy

No, I don't at all think that is rude. What I think is rude is that she came and stayed for 7 WHOLE DARN WEEKS and didn't lift a finger to help a first time mum. You should definitely say if she'd really like to help, then pay for a house cleaner. ]]> Wed, 28 Sep 2005 15:46:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=977&PID=16020&title=help-from-mother-in-law#16020 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=977&PID=16019&title=help-from-mother-in-law#16019 Author: bridgetbird

when my first child was born, my MIL came to stay for 7 weeks - an didnt' lift a finger to help. ( later had said she thought i was very competant so didn't think I needed help - well you had to be with the worlds laziest person staying with you) Now with my second on the way and she knowing there is no chance of her coming to stay (after her last efforts and a house too small) she has offered, to help in anyway " with the house cleaning etc". I do think she wants to help in some way - and I think I have an idea. Do you think its too rude to sugest that if she wants to help she can pay for a housecleaner for a few weeks?]]> Wed, 28 Sep 2005 15:17:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=977&PID=16019&title=help-from-mother-in-law#16019
