[QUOTE="busywend, post: 110971, member: 391"] This just is not right. For crying out loud - how long have you been waiting on them and they can not even help out while you recover??!! That is soooo wrong! However, it really is up to you to make sure they do know what it is you expect of them. For example, my friend just had a hysterectomy and of course is supposed to do nothing for weeks. She has been getting up and doing the dishes because they are not done timely enough for her. It bugs her to have them sitting there. HUH?! She then gets angry at the kids for not doing them earlier. I told her, she needs to tell them exactly what is expected of them. If she needs the dishes done as soon as they are dirtied, then she needs to make that clear to the kids. Otherwise they will get to it in a day or so. They are willing to do it on their terms - and on hers if she would share her terms! [/QUOTE]
