The maid did it !!

Tweet

Thats what we're starting to think now. Ever since mom died 5 yrs ago, my sister, my 2 brothers and myself have started to sort of take care of dad. He's 85 yrs old but he's very active, still drives, still works in the summer at the Golf Course. So Im in charge of doing the cooking, the washing and some cleaning. But lately, its become too much for me to take care of 2 big houses. So I asked dad if it would be ok to get a maid maybe once every 2 weeks and Id do the small stuff. She could do the vacuuming and the dusting and the windows. I can take care of the kitchen and the bathrooms. My other sister takes care of the paper stuff. Insurance, doctor appointments, income taxes, stuff like that. One of my brother takes care of taking dad shopping when he needs clothes or pills or personal hygiene stuff. My other brother takes care of installations. He'll install the a/c in the spring and take it out in the fall. He installs xmas lights, fixes things when they break. Someone is hired to do the snow removal and cut the grass. Phew!! So since the maid started, dad's cordless vacuum broke, his microwave stopped working, his phone's screen went blank and so many little things that break all the time. We found out that the phone's screen went blank because it was probably soaked in liquid. So did the maid tried to wash it and sort of flooded it? Same with the cordless vacuum that dad uses to pick up crumbs on the table, was it left too long out of its socket? Maybe the same thing happened with the microwave? Then dad's other cordless phone just stopped working. It wouldnt charge anymore. So every time something breaks, my brother goes shopping with dad and we usually can find a holiday that'll be coming soon and we all pay for it. Like 2 weeks ago, the cordless vacuum stopped working, so my brother bought another one and we told dad it would be his gift for father's day. Of course we'll buy him something else since the tiny vacuum is not that expensive. I wish I had a maid and then I would know if its normal for stuff to just break once you have a maid around lol. Does anyone know if having a maid can be hazardous to your belongings???
