I have been known to put off house work, laundry and pedicures. But never the important things like my work; I am meticulous when it comes to my job. But I don't enjoy dusting, I hate it when laundry piles up and having people touch my feet grosses me out.
But I am a clean borderline OCD person when it comes to having things in its place and NOT dirty. For example when it comes do dishes or kitchen I hate it when its not wiped down or dishes are not either rinsed off or they are caked on. And putting them in the dishwasher not rinsed off just causes more problems with the dishwasher and you have to go back and rinse them off anyway. So why not do it the first time. Also the cloth you use to clean the counters or stove. Please please rinse it out do not let it start getting a funky smell and keep using it. That's not just unsanitary but NASTY.
Now everything above I know someone who does it and each time I see it I just want to break out in a lecture. The funny thing is she pretends to be this "clean" and organized person. In truth she is the worst. My 19 yr old brother is better than she is and he is a boy.
The reason for this is because I noticed something a while ago and its funny that I never thought it would have happened. But my mothers voice has entered my mind each time I see the above or she does something nasty. I could go on about all my pet peeves with this person but I am not going too. But in return the lessons and nagging that my mother did while I grew up was not merely for her pleasure although secretly I think she got a kick out it. But because she cared and wanted us to be healthy and safe.
So friends all those lessons and special duties your mother had you do over and over again. It wasn't because she didn't want to do it but because your future family needed you to know.
