[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]np: My mom is visiting this week.  She spent 12 hours yesterday polishing two pewter kiddush cups. She bought them a few years ago for me because she knew I didn't like polishing silver, so she thought pewter would solve that problem.  Turns out, the pewter looks awful and the instructions say you can polish it.  She needed to remedy this.  Price tag says the cups were $4.75 each.  I have a busy household, I work FT, 3 young dcs, one with serious medical problems and SN, but this is what she did.[/quote]
Wow. You sound pretty upset about that. Did you want her to go to work with you, or to school with your children ? [/quote]

NP here but it doesn’t take too much imagination to assume the PP would have preferred for her mom to do something useful for the household or family like run errands, make dinner, do other Passover prep, do school pick up/drop off, or take the child to medical appointments. If she had 12 hours to burn, she might as well have done something that would be helpful to her family instead of a complete waste of time and effort. She should have just watched TV.[/quote]
