Jobs We Do For Adult Children!

[Mr Tom Morrow]

Our Son and his Partner are now in New York for 7 days.

They have a new build house that's only a year old just. He popped in on Monday to leave 2 towels for washing and asked us to check the house everyday which I will always do.

However he asked his Mother if she would clean the oven.

My God we are taking it in turns doing the rungs and drip tray etc. been going an hour so far and no end in sight!

Kids.

Is it just our two who are like this? Are we to blame?

😮😮 seriously, and you are doing it ! I do washing and ironing because they are still at home. Don't imagine they would even ask me to do that.
Each to their own

[Tinkerbell]

NOPE

when we lived in the UK we were constantly "doing" things Now when I visit and they are at work, i get notes such as

If you are bored could you...

Oven Cleaning seems to always come top of the list , along with cleaning out the kitchen cupboards and when Dads there its the shed!



they may be adults but they are still out kids

[scojos]

Can i just say elbow grease (the product im not being sarcastic) is ur best friend for oven cleaning

[EssexSue]

I don't clean my own oven, I certainly wouldn't do anyone else's. My kids wouldn't ask anyway.

[SquishTheWhale]

Not that I would ask my mum to clean my oven, but she'd probably tell me to get stuffed if I did!

If anything I'd be the one doing things for her, but sadly we live too far apart for me to pop in and help out.

[Guest]

Wouldn't be me...if they're old enough to buy and live in their own place then they're quite capable of looking after it.

[vowels]

Move away from the oven.

Leave your son's home.

Take Mrs. Morrow for a lovely lunch.

Chill.

If the boy can afford to go to New York he can afford to pay for a company to clean his oven. Ot at least for his own brillo pads.

Made me laugh - I’ve just been down at my daughter’s doing jobs! Mind you, she does have her hands full with twin babies.

Not alone we do things like this but oven cleaning no £60 for the man
For my double oven and £100 if he does ours and DILs any the same time
But I did pack up DS1 and DILs whole house when they were moving
And unpacked it other end
