[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 159816, member: 3419"] Yup. That's the part I never got--the issue of time. She had five kids and lots of work around the house, ergo, she was a housewife. She did some committee work. She golfed. She bowled. But being a housewife was her main thing. As adults, ALL of us kids worked, even with-kids. She never "got it," that when you work 40+ hrs a wk, AND have kids and a husband, AND dogs, AND volunteer for things, some parts of the house are going to be less than perfect. And you're not always going to be able to return phonecalls in a timely manner. I hope I'm not like that with-my daughter. I highly doubt it. As an artist whose idea of cleaning is shoving a pile from one end of the room to the other (this is easy child I'm talking about), I think her house will be just as messy, with-painting projects going on all over the place. Now, if she wants help with-a painting, I can DO that! AND the wine! [/QUOTE]
