O/T I hired a French Maid!!!

[niftydog]

now she wants me to clean the whole house before the maid comes, so she won't think we are the nasty pigs we are!

Man, I get that too! I don't get it! You'd have to assume that a professional cleaner has seen and cleaned it all. I'm sure they see far worse than what they experience at my house...

Personally, I don't want to make the effort to "impress" a complete stranger who forms opinions about me based solely on the state of my bathroom basin.

But what if she's wearing, red pumps, black stockings and a short skirt??

You know, the more I think about this, the more trouble I see...

I want that maid from "Two and a Half Men." Big, white and ugly... but that is what I might have.

I hope my flats come so I can just lock myself in my studio Friday, a room off limits to house cleaning.

No they said female, born in NY, lived in France for childhood, and has French accent.

Thats all I've got... till Friday.

Great . . . . she'll tell you to go F--- yourself, but with a French accent . . . . lovely!

Practice your Pepe Le Pew accent and be careful not to use it around the wife.

Just so everyone understands, hiring a maid is a big slap in my face, an admission of defeat and failure! When I came off the road 10 years ago my mission was to take care of my own kids (fire the nanny) and take care of the house. My wife makes all the money and my job was to fill the other positions. I apparently have failed in one of those jobs or the maid thing wouldn’t be needed.

I’m trying to have fun with this, but it ain’t really funny to me. Plus I also know that no maid will meet the expectations of said wife and I’ll be doing all the cleaning that gets done anyway, it’s an up hill battle. I have two teenagers, three cats and I’m a natural born slob…. This will never work!

Turn on CMT wait for the "mr mom" video.
Then understand you are a bass player and little is to be expected of you.

And being left handed could be used as a defense. I think those brooms are all right handed from my experience.

And if it takes you just right watch the maid. Maybe she can show you how to clean what you have missed. Severence pay will be in order when that happens.

I feel for you Chuck. Went thru some of the same stuff. Of course, I am now single so I probably don't have the best of advice.

Chuck,

The situation will resolve itself. The first time she has to dust off "that" picture of you holding your bass, she'll run for the hills. (Probably cursing in French, but you'll need Bovine there to confirm...)

LOL - Personally I think my bathroom basin is a deep insight into my personality...

Good to see another canberran at the forum!!!

As long as she don't drink your beer no harm no foul.

Well, there's drinking my beer and then there's drinking my with me....

You are truly a resourceful man. That is giving it the old college try I think.

Nawww .. the women are the ones with the hairy armpits.

You're supposed to clean your house? Jeez, no wonder the real estate agents have been giving me the evil eye.

 

[Mobay45]

Don't you just hate it when women do that!

Our maid comes every two weeks. My wife and I spend the evening before she gets there straigtening everything up. But then again, she does the heavy cleaning.
