Looking for help with WAW

[Greek]

Couple things. I do not want to pay for a house cleaner after I told her several times I do not want to pay for it with our joint money. I'd rather clean the house myself. Why not? I'm doing the rest of the house work anyway. I told her that I would contact her when I have the house work completed and it was ready to sell. She is clearly trying to push me on these issues. She did ask my opinion on a few issues. Don't know if that is just her being nice to try to get what she wants from me or if it's something more, something positive? I also will not go back to emailing each other about everything. I have told her before no more emails...face to face conversations or phone calls. Quick emails about setting up a time for us to talk are fine but I refuse to get into discussions with her via email anymore.

So here's my plan. I am thinking of emailing her back just to tell her that I called the carpet cleaner and he will call her to schedule the cleaning. Then I will tell her that we need to talk by phone to discuss the other items in her email. When she calls I will tell her that I do not want the house cleaners coming and that I am still not finished with the house work. She will probably be aggravated when I tell her this and think I am stalling. I will validate, say i understand if she feels this way but I am doing the best I can. I will tell her that my work schedule is very busy (and it is) and that I cannot give her a specific date when I will be finished with the house work but will let her know.

So why call the carpet cleaner to have them call her to set the appt.? Just tell her 'no', but if she insists, she can pay for it altogether, and it can be scheduled for when you are finished with the work you are doing. Period.
