I feel you! My well-meaning purge of my parents’ pantry made me feel really good (expired cans gone! mouse poop swept up!) but it upset them. I am more careful now when I try to “help” them.

❤️ Thanks, M! It’s so tricky to figure out how to help in these situations. You were just trying to keep your folks safe! I promised the offended party that I would not mop the floors ever again. *sigh*

If you come over and see my floors as disgusting as they normally are because of 2 giant dogs and 2 small kids, you are welcome to clean them anytime. I promise I won’t fire you :)
