I remember FlyLady. I tried so hard. Shine your sink! I still hear her in the back of my mind sometimes. I can see why she would've been popular in fundamentalist homeschool circles. I wasn't in one when I first found her--not yet. Once I was introduced to the fundy homeschool community, I saw the red flags and was able to leave that community pretty quickly, but I know several who are still trapped.
I remember my mom being obsessed with the fly lady. I wasn’t aware that the shine your sink came from her, and a few other things you mentioned ring bells, some I even do today in my own home despite never reading fly lady myself.
I love the focus on applauding the small steps you were taking to become free, and acknowledging that it often takes multiple attempts before it sticks.

How sad she shaped the interior of so many womens lives while they were trying to live up to an impossible oppresuve standard.
