[quote=Anonymous]My in laws are in their early 70s and still in good health, thankfully. They are active and live a pretty healthy lifestyle. However, for the past year or so DH and I have noticed that their house is really dirty and kind of a wreck. They still live in the same big house where DH and his siblings grew up, but they really just use a couple of the rooms at this point. They do have a cleaning lady come once a month but they either need someone more frequently or to start cleaning things up themselves.

The kitchen and dining room are covered in grime. The floor has crumbs, tables and surfaces are not wiped off. The dishwasher broke about 6 months ago and they either are too lazy or don’t want to pay to get it fixed. Dishes are piled up and it’s like they just clean one or two a day (or maybe they are saving them from the cleaning lady). When they serve you something chances are the silverware and dishes are not very clean.

Their master bath had a leak and they chose to do nothing and just use a different bathroom in the house. However, the leak has destroyed the ceiling and wall in their living room and there is now some mold you can see developing. The rest of the house is extremely dusty as well.

His parents have always been really need and clean so this is a bit disturbing. DH has tried to gently discuss it with his parents, as has his sister, but they get so offended. It’s not a money issue, but dH even offered to pay for the cleaning lady to come once a week. They thought he was being ridiculous.

The biggest issue is that they love to host family dinners and I literally can’t stand eating anything at their house.

Anyone been through this? What can we do to help get things cleaned up?[/quote]
