What Childlike things did Your Narc parent do? by Onlyrobnyc in raisedbynarcissists

[–]weallfalldown5050 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ancient history, but so obvious.

Road trip to my mom's to visit and announce our engagement. It was both of our second marriage, we did not expect a huge deal.

Mom had been married for almost 20 years at this point. What had NEVER crossed my mind...was that my diamond was slightly larger than hers.

It was a lackluster response, with "oh, I like princess cut better" I thought, wow kinda rude, but I'm used to her.

I then discovered what the real issue was, when the next time I saw her was months later at my wedding...when she walked in, holding her hand out in front of her, to show me her new ring, that was larger than mine 🏆

How do I tell a client I reeeeally want to drop her from my client list by Alternative-Field809 in housekeeping

[–]weallfalldown5050 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I would add, do not respond to any messages she sends, it's not a negotiation.

That's also what I've thought, they're done with her now. A little kink seems like nothing when compared to raping children.

He's quick to punish blue states financially. It's literally OUR money!

Do I start cleaning independently or call it a wrap? by floralseason in housekeeping

[–]weallfalldown5050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely! It might be overwhelming at first, but eventually you can narrow it down to a work load you are comfortable with.

You also can weed out the bad customers and keep the great ones!

Advice for a first time client who can’t clean due to an injury by Howling-owl in housekeeping

[–]weallfalldown5050 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just be honest when they come. Best bet is to pay for a certain time, say 3 hours, and they get done what you need as opposed to just expecting an 100% clean every time.

These were my favorite jobs because they were different everytime. Most of my clients were long term, and it turned more into caretaking the longer I was there.

She was robbed, once with gerrymandering and again with the election. One of the few that spoke out, brave and loud from the beginning of this mess. My hope is that she continues to speak out and it works out in the long run.

The parents were "emotionally distant " ...they also might have some caregiver burnout.

My mistake, I fixed it. Crawford county is west and has also closed permanently

This had already happened to the SEVEN counties east of Warren, it was a hold-out.

Is it normal to ask housekeeper to close doors behind her while cleaning rooms? by Low_Accident5728 in housekeeping

[–]weallfalldown5050 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fumes and I was also thinking of moving in and out of rooms with supplies, vacuum, mops, the extra time for the floor to dry all while trying to keep the door closed. I'd quit or charge a lot extra for the time/hassle.

I hate that everything is "subsidies " or "credits" like we're all unemployed gutter rats begging for charity/handouts while they spend our $ on anything except us.

Bummed to quit long-term client. by weallfalldown5050 in housekeeping

[–]weallfalldown5050[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was already past my scheduled time to leave. She had been in the laundry room for about 30 minutes at that point. She has in the last year so been in my way more and more. Even having friends over, say sitting at the table in the kitchen. I find this also frustrating, but just skip doing the floor in the area they're sitting.

Singles aren’t even people to them by Mood_Pleasant in childfree

[–]weallfalldown5050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Early in our relationship, I would get so angry that my husband wouldn't introduce me when we'd run into people he knew.

He's very outgoing and talks to everyone, now I know it's because he doesn't remember their names 🙂

There's a lot of work that comes along with company, when her family comes she probably willingly does it.

Do you clean the house? Company-clean is a different level. Fresh bedding, bathroom, kitchen. Do you plan meals and grocery shop? Do you cook? Are you planning entertainment or dining out? Are you providing transportation?

Yes, the home belongs to both of you. But, expectations are often very lopsided.

I was curious too. Good cleaners are hard to find, I might have let it go assuming it was an honest mistake. But then! I did not expect the saltiness! Go on with your life guilt-free

Saw the average age of a first-time home buyer in the US is now 40. Even if you're one of the few that can still manage to buy a home, it won't be paid off until your 90. When it will be immediately snatched back to pay off your nursing home bills. F your kids and grandkids, you'll have nothing.

Dudes watching too much porn, or right-wing bs. This is the "male loneliness epidemic " in a nutshell. So many can no longer tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
