    My mother did the same thing, mostly because the house cleaner came recommended by her friends and she didn’t want anything negative getting back to them.

    So very true. I wonder has a maid service ever arrived at a disaster house, I know when my son and wife were working at vacation rentals in the 90s they had to clean up quite a few disasters.

    When my sister’s kids were little, her husband hired a maid, Joanne, to come in once a week. Sis cleaned right along with Joanne, unless she had an errand, and then the kids were under strict orders to obey and help Joanne. She and her husband became good family friends. Joanne is a widow now, and long retired (the kids are over 35 now), but she still comes to family functions, like Christmas and my sister’s 50th anniversary last summer.

    This is such a cliche! We do not clean the house in order to “impress” the maids/housekeepers. We declutter so that they can clean. That being said, we had a housekeeper on a regular 2 week schedule and her day happened to coincide with a day we were out of town toward the end of our vacation. Our teenage son had been staying by himself, and the housekeeper told us when we got back that we didn’t want to know what kind of a mess he had left for her. She hinted, but never gave us any details, and she’s right. I didn’t want to know.

    Typical of Nina or housewife. As getting ready for company.

    This strip on the day many newspaper Sunday comic strips put in symbols or references to essential/frontline workers at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic is a rerun from April 2010.
