Have you ever looked at your loo brush and thought, omg, what does that loo brush say about my life?
Ditto the car. Pre-kids, I travelled in a friends’ car who had a toddler. I was horrified – how could she let things get like this? Perhaps she’s still got post-natal depression? Should I say something about just how bad it looks from my perspective?
Luckily I chose to keep schtum, because now I am so embarrassed about the interior of our car that I even apologise to daughters’ friends, who ordinarily wouldn’t be looking beyond the next selfie opportunity.
When we’re mid-school term and hardly have time to piss, I don’t seem to notice things such as dirty toilet brush holders. Similarly cobwebs and stained carpets are off my radar, because they just seem too huge to deal with. Surface cleaning only until the holidays.
However, the holidays come and I find the job of living in a house in the holidays with everyone else at home, a full time job. So… when do people clear cobwebs and buy new loo brushes? I have decided that the next house I go to I will examine the above, if only to reassure myself that everyone else is slowly sinking with me.
