His Girlfriend Doesn’t Think Their Cleaning Lady Is Going A Good Job, But He’s Refusing To Pile On More Pressure Because He Thinks The Woman Is Already Doing Backbreaking Work
This man and his girlfriend moved in together about three months ago, but she absolutely hates cleaning. From mopping to sweeping and everything in between, his girlfriend despises tidying up.
But she has two big dogs who shed a ton of hair.
“I mean, the whole place is covered with hair,” he said.
That’s why they decided to hire a cleaning lady, who he paid for, to go to their home and clean twice each month.
Then, in between the visits, he maintains their home by doing some light cleaning– just to keep their house “at least suitable for human life.”
However, he works from home; meanwhile, his girlfriend is a teacher. So, she is never actually home when the cleaning lady is there.
This pushed his girlfriend to start sending him a list of responsibilities– which she wants him to verify with the cleaning lady and ensure gets done.
“But I know very well that the lady doesn’t have the time to do all that stuff and definitely isn’t paid enough to do all this stuff, either,” he admitted.
So, he has refused to “pester” the cleaning lady by asking her to do more. He also just doesn’t want to be nitpicky about such tiny things.

Well, his girlfriend is really angry at him about how he refuses to go over her list with the cleaning lady. She claims that, since they are paying for the service, they should be “getting their money’s worth.”
Still, he’s just not comfortable bugging the cleaning lady, and he told his girlfriend to just call and talk to the woman herself if she wants it done that badly.
Apparently, some of his feelings tie back to his childhood– specifically watching his mom work the same job.
“When I look at the lady, I see my mom,” he revealed.
“My mom used to do housekeeping when she first came to America, and there is no way I am gonna put too much pressure on the lady who is already doing backbreaking work.”
Still, with his girlfriend so annoyed with him, he’s not sure whether refusing to put more pressure on the cleaning lady is really the wrong thing to do.
Do you agree that cleaning homes is hard work? Can you understand why he doesn’t want to ask for more from their cleaning lady? How could they solve this situation? What would you do?
