[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean like the kitchen and family areas? If we were at my MIL or mother's house, I would help out those areas if I saw no one had gotten a chance to get to it yet. I'm sure either my MIL or my mother would do the same thing at my house.  Dishes in the sink, full dishwasher or used dishes/other stuff in the family room - anyone would put that stuff away just as a matter of course and it wouldn't be a big deal. Even vacuuming or mopping floors, I could see any family member taking care of that if they thought it was needed and they had the time and inclination to take care of it.  Things like rearranging bedroom closets, or cleaning in the master bedroom/bathroom - that's more personal and more objectionable. 
Rearranging pillows? That does not count as cleaning and is a very weird thing for you to care about or feel violated by.[/quote]
By "family areas", I meant the areas in the house where everyone is hanging out, e.g., family or living room, kitchen, dining room.  Yes, everyone can feel free to straighten or clean those areas. But more private space like master bedroom or bath, no one but us is ever in there and you shouldn't invite yourself in when no one is home. That's where you might find the sex toys or birth control or embarrassing medications, so obviously more personal.[/quote]
