@SouthernBee 

Will you be paying her a" job fee"  or a hourly fee?

Reason i am asking that if by "hourly fee" and her also having health problems  the job cleaning  you might have her do might  take longer...and cost you more money,unless you have a time limit set.

My neighbor also cleans 3 clients homes  and one lady has a strct rule  for her cleaning to be done for only" 2 hours" each time....unless in  the outside  summer job she wants done  and won't be completed in that time then will ask her to stay longer.  She gets paid $20.00 per hour.

Just asking for a friend🤗🥰

Sunny and going to be 45 degrees today

I have been staying home a lot lately  not even going for a walk  as neighbor friend has been very busy  and not calling to go for one.

Same for family  and married couple all busy....except  for of course my pancake sister that keeps calling me to go   to Cracker Barrel with her

She gets upset with me when i say no..

i'm not ready to go back without our friend that passed away....it doesn't bother her at all that friend  isn't here to go now with us...and it upsets me like she has no feelings at all!

If i don't answer her phone calls.. she leaves me a angry message to call her back!

Then my IBS kicks me in the gut!..don't want to answer her phone calls!

Done with my rant...but i needed to tell someone how i feel. No need to answer me.

lubs ya!

@cowboy sam : We decided on a set fee and she is happy with every two weeks. She stated this will really help her financially.

I told DH not to get upset if she takes too long. He has the back rooms: his computer room and tv room to stay busy. She will clean the hall bathroom and hall first so he will have complete privacy .

The previous cleaning lady didn't do a lot of what is considered regular cleaning. On the counter top in the kitchen where the toaster and air fryer was : nothing. Others have said that there cleaning service had wiped the dust and finger prints off.Plus she was putting too much water on the hardwood floor and not using the dry mop on the floor. She would bring with her a bucket of product to mop with but would spill it on the front porch when leaving. She would leave the mess stated she was on a tight schedule. Manager just always replied: I will discuss this with employee. I was paying for the premium service and not the basic cleaning service. Ok. Rant over.

@cowboy sam : So sad about your sister and her health.

I totally agree and understand about your circumstances. You do what is best to protect you and your mental and physical health.❤️❤️❤️

I am currently under stress and my SIL is stirring up her junk and stuff and I am not answering her phone calls, emails or text.DH went to lunch with his sister today and returned home just shaking his head. Stated he told her off on some of the junk she was talking. He wants a relationship with her but stated it's almost too difficult. So sad, because DH likes to go out for awhile. DH pays for her meal and she expects him to purchase lunch for her DH so she doesn't have to cook for the day, plus she ask him for gas money but now asking for $20 a week.. He was without her asking , giving her a little extra for gas money. Ok. Rant over.

Enjoy your evening and get some rest.❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏

I'm sorry that your paincake sister is upsetting you. ☹️

I'm sure she's lonesome since your restaurant outings have stopped.  She sounds like she has never been a very compassionate person, but it's possible that she just doesn't process the situation normally now.  

It's hard to lose friends and family as we age.  Our world shrinks.  She doesn't realize that your world is shrinking too (and she probably doesn't care).  It's difficult to continue to be understanding when she gets mean to you, though.  You have your own problems and need to take care of yourself first.

Do what you need to do for your own wellbeing.  Hopefully your other friends will be available soon and you can get out with them again.  In the meantime, vent all you want! 

Lubs ya❣️

I hope your new cleaning arrangement works well.  It would be nice to have someone on a regular basis that does a good job, and it would benefit both you and your friend who could use the money.  I think dealing with someone on a personal level works better than going through a company where they can get away with things.

It sounds like you have your own family dramas too.  Again, or still. 😖

It's always something.  Or someone! 😫

@geezerette : Well stated and totally agree.
