Although mum get it's for nowt twice(ish) a year I do charge my missus!

She's always nagged me about the state of our windows: " You're a window cleaner...spend all day doing for other people...blah blah blah"

Me: They pay me..you don't"

Her: "OK I'll pay your going rate, how much?...£20?"

I take her £20 and give it to my daughter....who then doesn't have to go to mum for pocket money.

So it's swings and roundabouts...the games we play in the Knight household ;D

No need to feel bad about it.  It could be that it reflects well on them as they may have brought you up with a keenly honed business instinct.  The fact is that I've never actually cleaned my parents' windows.  By the time I had started window cleaning (at 34), my mum had been dead 16 years and my father had moved hundreds of miles away some years before - so I'm hardly a good example.
Your parents are probably proud of you which is a lot better than mine would think of me.  It's not just about the windows.  It's about all the rest of it too.
