My husband and I often argue when contractors come to the house. On Monday, the balcony door needs to be repaired. That will take some time. On Friday, the plasterers will come to finish plastering the garage. They will need water, which means they also have to go inside the house.
I am self-employed and have to work constantly. My husband can’t just take time off either. Now he always expects me to quickly go home and supervise the contractors.
That’s nonsense. They can work on their own. I don’t have to sit there watching them. But my husband doesn’t want that at all. Instead, he prefers to get the in-laws involved so they can "guard" the house sitting on the sofa at home. Is it such a hassle like this for you too?

I don’t have much trouble letting tradespeople into our house on their own. My husband feels differently. But here, apart from books and bulky tools, there’s nothing to steal. I guess I’m also a bit too trusting.With our previous neighbors, burglars stole all the clothes from the wardrobe, so there’s always something worth stealing.
