When I was the only kid left and active in high school, my mother and father hired a woman who came once a week to do the primary cleaning (I still did all the cooking and most the grocery shopping.) Mom said it wasn't fair that I had to do all that work by myself.

20 years later, my mother told me she thought I should pay her back $988,649 for accumulated total they paid the woman -- it had been my job, so naturally the cost was my responsibility too! :sadcheer:

Don't forget the use of a vehicle while she's here. This is Elle-Ay; one must have a car!

As soon as I pay back my mom, of course.... :undead:

That is just so many shades of wrong! Tell me, was your mom coddled in the ways of housekeeping when she was a child?

I ask because it's my running theory. My mom says she didn't make my sister and me do more around the house because, as the oldest of eleven, she worked her butt off from an early age. She swore we wouldn't have the same childhood she did. Meanwhile, I was so spoiled that I made sure Daughter would have more responsibilities growing up than I did.

Then there's my paternal aunt. She made my cousins work hard, they hardly ever had time to play with us. I'm told my grandmother let her laze around when she was a child, so ... :think:

Anyway ... that's me thinking out loud. And stuff.

Look, a number: 988,645

Wait ... rental car? Hummer?! Gee, it's so nice to have people spending my money for me. :glare:

Legs, it's a good thing I have you watching my back! That's different ...

Well, in that case I'll have to hire myself a driver. I don't do well in big city traffic and I think Hell Yay qualifies as "big city". I wonder if Fabio is available ... :girlthink:

Who said "rental"?! If you ain't happy with what's in my garage, you can get Fabio to give you a damn Hummer.

988,641 :marg:

will keep us off the city streets. We can ride horses into town. Maybe we'll find Antonio at the little grocery store. I hear he shops there when he and Melanie visit her mom.

(I'm pretty sure my mother had household responsibilities as a girl.)
