How to deal with a bossy and irritating boss?

BF as my "boss" is he too bossy or am I too witchy?

  • My bf works construction. One of his resdiential homes needed cleaned- so he got me working for the owner. BF showed me everything that needed done (and a few things bf was doing for home owner on side too.) Homeowner (admittedly) has OCD and everything needs t be perfect. (Home has been in process for nearly 5 yrs.) I told bf it would be helpful to get a list from owner- as I do with other home owners I clean for- in order of importance. I always clean top to bottom- but maybe something is important. No list. I am up to nearly 40 hours and have bought cleaning supplies- paid babysitter (I have a toddler- but try to get relatives- as that is half I make.) I have not been paid anything yet. Late afternoon yesterday ... BF calls me at last minute and said homeowner wondered why I didnt wax basement floor (2500 sq. ft) as owner needs it done to move in furniture the next day. I didnt know- and I clean top to bottom- and I wanted a sunny day to see the floor- which I had told bf last week. He had asked when I was going to do it. So I ran over last evening and did it last minute. BF calls this morning and says ... looks like you need contacts or some lasik surgery- that floor is all streaked up- I can see it from __ city (45 miles away) .... blalala. That I need to get a babysitter (which I cant) and get over asap and redo before homeowner sees and so that furniture can get in. I call babysitter- but has college finals- so I cant get over til this evening again when I have a relative available (Plus I havent been paid and costs too much.) . I tell bf I could have swept, mopped. dried floor last night and put wax on tonight- before sun went down if I knew. I told him I need light, a fan (as it is very humid in basement). That last night I made a special last minute trip over- I have been sick with a fever and wanted to stay in. BF says I am blaming the sun in my eyes- etc- instead of just saying I did a bad job and he will have to help me do it tonight so he knows it gets done right. That I need to just move past it and he is trying to do this from work. I told him he should have started conversation with - hey I think that needs a second coat and do that this evening .... blalala. He constantly tells me- I am your boss .. and I just don't really mind it .. it just doesn't seem to be working for us... advice? ******* He just called me to see if I was coming up asap- so he could let the homeowner know. I already told him this evening. He then denied saying the contact/vision thing. WTH? I told him I would be there this evening. BF said he will have his work lights there lit up like walmart so I dont have problems seeing - as it is cloudy out. I told him I will borrow my relatives glasses ... bf says he doenst need the sarcasm that he is trying to help me. He says if homeowner wants it done in the dark I should do it in the dark and have OCD and make it perfect. That I work too fast. (2 plus hours wasnt ebough time). BF said if I cant do it right he will get his sister to do it and she will do it right and the homeowner will hire her. (Shes on disability ...)

You don't do this for a living...you shouldn't work for your BF - or anyone else you are sleeping with. The homeowner has a specific request - do it. Then get out of the housecleaning business.
