We are in the process of moving into my in-laws. They've had a new house built. First off, it has taken them forever to get all their things out, and we spent a lot of time helping them move. Now my mother in law is in her new house, enjoying all her new things. However, she has failed to come back and finish cleaning or clearing out all the junk. I have my own house now that I am trying to get sorted, packed up and moved. I don't have time to clean two houses (should I have to clean hers?)! I find myself very angry and irritated. My husband even told her to call a housekeeper to clean it, and she didn't. Now the housekeeper is booked up and unable to come in to clean.

Please pray for me. I don't want to feel this way, but it is very hard for me not to feel very resentful and taken advantage of. :mad: Please pray.

Thank you...

Hahahah, I love that saying "I'm so angryI could spit!" Ok just makes me laugh.

Anyhow anger is one of those things we should try to avoid, or at least actions out of anger. Moving makes EVERYONE freak out! I haven't met a single person that is just all calm and collected when they move! Also, things rarely go right when you move too! So time to just accept this. Now all you can do about the house cleaning is ask your in laws to please get it cleaned, and explain why you think that. After that its really outa yer hands 'cause its not like you can convince them to do something they don't want to do by nagging and moaning and groaning.

So in the end, yeah you might have to clean, and yeah that's a lot of extra work that I'm sure you're not looking forward too, so you should at least get some nice company to clean with you and try not to snap at them either ;) If you can find a way out great, but otherwise there's the old saying. "What must be endured, can be endured"

Alright, I'll pray you don't have to clean that nasty mess I'm sure they left the place in and that you can calm down about this whole thing... good luck!

wheater I can feel the frustration straight from your post and I think you need to be putting your foot down in certain areas, however it will make them feel. Tell those that havn't cleared all there stuff out, quite bluntly to shift it, there are plenty other people who are housekeepers who I'm sure you could find. If its just trash shes left then put it round the back and there are also places that you can ring to remove unwanted rubbish. You need to be sorting yourseves out, doing all this is becoming to much and you will end up just giving up on it all at this rate.

Lord I pray this situation will be sorted, and that very soon it will all come together, so they can wake up thinking they've not got to rush about. Amen:pray:

It would be nice to thank God for the house, and the opportunity to move, and the money to hire a housekeeper. We all have witnessed those who no longer have homes, and not even two pennies to rub together. Praise God for what you have, even the mess. Everything else will fall into place.

Lord give this person peace and calmness. Help them to turn to you. Grant and give them wisdom and mercy. Help them to take a kind timeout. And to know what needs to be done next. In thy name, amen.
