Am I overthinking? Stop visiting my mom
My daughter and I go often or stay at my moms and growing up my mom was obsessed with a clean house. She literally owns a cleaning company. So, a little background of my childhood I never really got to play or be in my bedroom because she had white carpet installed and God forbid I made a mess. I also wasn’t a messy kid but hey kids are kids and I did clean up after myself. Anyways, moving forward now that I have a daughter and we visit grandmas I’ve begun to hear her say comments about my baby’s toys or in general her baby things and I bought baskets and bags to keep things clean and organized and I clean up after us when we visit but now she’s saying when we visit I can’t bring the stroller inside because she keeps having to mop her floors. So, I have a Doona stroller and I don’t stroll it around her house I literally park it in the foyer and bring the baby out. But I’m starting to feel like not visiting as often because of her comments. Like I said we don’t make a mess and if we happen to do so I clean up after us and before I leave I say if she needs help with anything. I think it’s starting to get annoying honestly because when her granddaughter visits there may be a blanket on the sofa or wipes on the table. But just normal things and she wants everything immediately picked up to keep her house organized ig. At my house I either pick up at the end of the night when baby is down or early morning while baby is still sleeping. And going back to me having white carpet in my childhood bedroom, it was silly of her to do such a thing because what if I spill juice? Or chips? Who’s fault is it really? Isn’t it common sense that kids would have accidents or be messy? I definitely wouldn’t put no white carpet in a kids room. Paint, crayons, food. Just things happen.
