Pip Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yesterday she started cleaning the kitchen. She asked me to move the fridge so she could mop behind it (scary proposition). Today she started moving furniture in the family and vacuuming. She just brought a ladder in from the garage so she could clean the vents in the ceiling. Should I take her to the doctor?

Guest Alte Veste Academy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yesterday she started cleaning the kitchen. She asked me to move the fridge so she could mop behind it (scary proposition). Today she started moving furniture in the family and vacuuming. She just brought a ladder in from the garage so she could clean the vents in the ceiling. Should I take her to the doctor? Hmmm. This brings back memories of my sister cleaning the house like a crazy woman right before she gave my parents the very bad news that she was going to marry the guy she'd been dating. Based on that experience, I would be inclined to interrogate her to see what blow she might be trying to cushion...or what favor she's going to be asking for. :tongue_smilie: Of course, at the age of 9, you should be pretty safe from unsavory marriage proposals. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillieBoy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Could you encapsulate whatever virus she has and send it my way. I would love to see that sickness spread in my house. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well, I'd say she was nesting - but 9 years old seems sort of early for such behavior! Perhaps she's been sneaking "House Beautiful" magazines under her mattress?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Okay, she just lit some scented candles. Oh crap. Call a priest, you need an exorcist.

JFSinIL Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Can I borrow her next? Maybe she can shame my teens into lifting a finger around here (besides to flick the remote at the tv). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialmama Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 :lol: I went through this too, though at age 10. My motive was simply to pitch in and help, I was learning about family, community, and how we all have to contribute. It made me feel valuable and I liked the praise my mom gave me. When it started to die down, she offered to pay me $10 per day to keep it up. That worked for over a year. A win-win situation for both parties involved. Does she go to Brownies or Girl Guides? They often take "secret oaths" to be a help at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
