Now let me congratulate you (nobody in your family will...) because you sorted ALL of everyone's crap on YOUR week off while they were off having fun. That must have been so frustrating for you, why do we mums get saddled with all the crap? It's hard work and unexpectedly emotional clearing clutter away, so kudos to you for getting it sorted, I hope it makes moving much easier xxx
Can I second this? It is hard work - physically and emotionally, and it takes time, and it is thankless, and you're probably going to get criticism rather than appreciation for it, even though it directly benefits everyone who lives in the house and even indirectly benefits your H if it means the house sale goes through more easily and there is less sorting for him to do himself.
It is hard not to feel resentful after doing work like this. I suffer from this myself. Some days I feel all I do is follow my children and H around and pick up and put away things after them, because it is easier than dealing with the whining and complaints when I ask them to show a bit of respect to me and the house. I know it's not the same situation, but I can just empathise with what a tough week it was for you and how hard you worked anyway.
