I been and done the hoovering today.
Living room, stairs, and upstairs bedrooms.
It doesn't sound like much, and it isn't, but it's the fact that Mum asked.
No drama, no snide remarks, just a simple ask and immediate response of, "No problem!"
I've been suggesting this for years.
She is mellowing as she slows down - Dad had chores in the morning now, that she used to insist on doing herself and then grumbling about hours later, or bringing up in rows weeks later. She often asks me to things I wouldn't think to do, so added to the things I offer to do (never do without asking!) we're rubbing along quite well.
