if your mum has a maid, even if she comes to your house, the maid can also give her a hand. If you need the maid to clean your house, just strike a deal with her, pay her extra, think most maids will gladly take up the job. Then you don't even need to get part time cleaners.
My hubby is also a fussy person, but he never treats my mum with disrespect or expect her to work like a maid when she does confinement for me. My mum is working, no maid, lucky my dad helps her with housework. Both my inlaws on the other hand very good life. Got maid, no work and very free. So my mil every day come to my house for 2+ hr to kiss her grandson.
I wonder if there is any grandmother here so overly obsessed with the grandchildren. My mil going Europe for less than 2 weeks, she acts like she going there, not coming back. Everyday, including weekends must see her grandson, say can't get enuff of him and will miss him very badly. Keep reiterating every day that she is going away.
