Mum has the tendency to go over the top with her cleaning. Instead of doing to most necesarry tasks first, like sweeping and mopping the floor, taking the dust off, cleaning the windows, starting with the most visible rooms. Mum does it the other way around. Like washing off the stairs ceiling and walls. This was the week before my sister got married. She started off with those tasks and ended up panicing the day before the marriage because she hadnt finished cleaning everything. She still had to do the kitchen, livingroom and toilet around 7 pm. The three places the guests would be seeing. She was then getting very nervous about minor things, snapping at everything and everyone for no good reason. Its not that much work to clean those rooms, not unless youre R.H. She didnt see the wood for the trees! She had to take some sedative that night.
Occasionally she drops her cloth to try and fix something. Taking the specific object all apart to later leave it when shes gotten to the point she has to admit she cant do it. Thats when shes done more harm than good or when she doesnt have all the tools to do it. Only today she tried to fix a table. Its still not fixed. A while back she had a go at my sink. I had tried it before actually. It turned a bit into a messy disaster when I dismantled the thing without putting a bucket underneath it first. All the water splashed onto the floor. Later when I tried putting it all back together I saw a plastic ring was missing. I put it back together anyway. The first couple of weeks it was leaking a bit, but advantually it stopped. Later I had a bit of trouble again with my sink but I left it, figuring I would really need the ring this time and I didnt want to dismantle it twice. So one day I asked mum for help when I had to get my computer upstairs. When I got into my room with part of the computer she was about to dismantle my sink. She did think of a bucket though. When she had to put the whole thing together again she noticed the plastic ring missing. She left off leaving my sink like it was
When Im in my room now, its like Im in some disgusting pipe. I cant put cleaning stuff in it, because its all in pieces at the moment.
Mum also has this habbit of ignoring all youre saying when youre telling her somethings not working. She has to see for herself. The other day our cooker had the electricity falling out every time we turned one on. I tried every button and dad turned the electricity on each time. We figured some water got into it. When mum got back I told her she had to wait for tea a bit because of the cooker that wasnt working, presuming water got in. She went into the kitchen as I said to dad Shell see for herself
. FLASH. Electricy fell out.
Is it just the little one?
No, its all of them.
FLASH
Mum puts electricity back on and returns to the kitchen.
You sure its not just the one?
Yes
FLASH
Mum puts electricity back on and returns to the kitchen.
But that red lights still on and none of the burners are on?
Well, its broken, isnt it?
Probably some water that got in
Shes rather funny at these occasions.
