Used to...then I realised I'm killing myself, so only mop hall and rooms on alternate days or 3 days sometimes. But for the kitchen will mop as long as there's cooking.

Have done away with daily vacuuming and sweeping cos' time consuming, only use magic dry wipe every day which is faster..... Maybe the area I stay, it gets quite dirty everyday.
Also, MIL likes to leave tissue on floor and tend to drop her food. But my main grouse is she has a bad habit of not drying her hands/feet.....so things will stick on floor and dark patches will form :stupid: So gotta mop loh.

In fact, have already cut many corners cos' simply too xiong. My threshold for dirtiness is getting higher and higher :oops:

The floor is quite clean, but many places are dusty MIL stays with me & both DH and MIL object to part-time maid.....they seem to think that I have enough capacity to take on everything. Life was a lot worse when FIL was around and no maid. Last 10 months had a maid to take care FIL and life was better....but with both departed, it's hectic again. Guess I'll have to cut down my KSP from now on......shall miss it :sad:

I have 1 already......i(am the)robot.

Wonder what will my MIL say. She had commented on the various brooms I had previously (everytime say it's not as clean as using feather duster), my magic wipe etc.....sigh.... :skeptical:

If she's home, think I'll want to go out .... unless she can hold her tongue.
If not, gotta hire maid again....but seriously, I prefer to be maidless......

Btw, saw a nice article (in Chinese tho)....enjoy.
