[QUOTE="Star*, post: 306725, member: 4964"] Hi Nomad, I used to own a Merry Maids. I promise you I've seen it all. ALL. From the most neurotic to the hoarders that could make even the strongest stomached person throw up. I liked the idea of a person that would come once a week and work along side of her and give her pointers to clean UNTIL I read that if she has a friend coming over she can clean PERFECTLY. Then that eye brown arched and I thought - Hmmmm. So then I am thinking - What if you hired someone to just come and hang out with her and help her period and give her tips on stuff? Do you think that would motivate her to keep her own apartment clean and when this person shows up the reward would be - clean apartment - go to lunch and shopping, or clean apartment - teaches life skill like ironing or how to bake bread or something Susie-Homemaker neat. ??? Or maybe take in a movie or have a pedicure? Go to the park - just fun girl stuff. ?? That way your daughter is cleaning for herself - the aide is checking on her instead of her parents AND she's getting a reward plus life skills. I too am amazed at the lengths you will go to in helping her. You're a fantastic Momma. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
