スペイン語日記翻訳【162】

Pros: It doesn’t cost money (I’ll treat them to meals at least), it’s more relaxing, and it’s nice to catch up after a long time.
Cons: They’ll see my living space, they’ll open things even if I tell them not to, they’ll touch things even if I say not to, and it feels like my son has no personal rights.
When considering a housekeeping service, my only concern was whether they would respect my “don’t open, don’t touch” rule.

Pros: no cuesta dinero (al menos les invitaré a comer), es más relajado y es agradable ponerse al día después de tanto tiempo.
Contras: verán mi espacio personal; abrirán cosas aunque les diga que no; tocarán cosas aunque les pida que no; y da la sensación de que mi hijo no tiene ningún derecho personal.

Al considerar un servicio de limpieza, mi única preocupación era si respetarían mi regla de “no abrir, no tocar”.
