Lol, i'd absolutely love someone to clean my car now! It's like a frikken office. A very dusty on the inside, muddy on the outside, full of ID cards and paperwork office. Gah. And it's a job I hate doing myself, even more than ironing. and, if I try to do it, the smallies want to help.
impossible.
Might just be me, and that I really really want someone to clean my car right at this moment. It never gets done at my house.
Love boards usual craziness though! I should be dying with the holy mortification of even thinking about that "unnecessary job" rather than suggesting it. Grass cutting though, that's vital I tell ya. Lmao.0 -

I hate cleaning the car and would love someone to do it for me. That's not my point. My point is that it's an utterly bizarre and unnecessary thing for a friend to do for a new parent. I never suggested cutting the grass but it's a job that has to be done so I see where others are coming from.Lol, i'd absolutely love someone to clean my car now! It's like a frikken office.

Good grief, suit yourself. I found it handy and am contributing it. My brother offered to wash our car when I had a new baby and I took him up on it. I found it neither "bizarre" or "unnecessary", It's not a flight to the moon we're talking about. It was a hand with things we don't prioritise when there is a newborn around. I thought it was a kind and generous gesture, but maybe you like a maggoty car.Anne_cordelia wrote: »I hate cleaning the car and would love someone to do it for me. That's not my point.

(ps, that's a joke. )
Anyway, another one I found super duper handy, was when a buddy came around and offered to mind the baby while I did something for myself. She said, "don't mind me now, baby will nap and I will read my book, you go sort your laundry or hop in the shower or whatever you want." I vividly remember with a newborn wondering how on earth anyone got time to have a shower, let alone dry their hair with visitors calling and chatting to them over cuppas.0 -
