[quote=Anonymous]Our family home was always clean and neat. We all had a job and were expected to do our share. 6 kids and never was the house even messy.
Husbands family home was immaculate. Minimal furnishings so the house wasn't hard to keep up. 7 kids, let's just say it was an uncomfortable home to be in. His family had weird money issues. Needs only. You never replaced anything until it could not be fixed. My MIL had plastic on the furniture and all these clear mats on the carpet. I never liked going there so I quit going. Both MIL and FIL have passed. My BIL lives in the house. I'll bet money it's filthy as all get out but he has a place and I'm happy for that.

I keep a very clean tidy home and my husband helps with the big stuff. My level of cleanliness has dropped because I got sick but if you walk in it smells good.
My sisters are not good housekeepers. I don't think any of them even cook.
My brother married a girl that was not a good housekeeper. He is always doing home improvement stuff so I guess he cleans as he goes. SIL thinks cleaning is below her standard of living. Mrs. Executive Secretary. This is kind of ironic. My brother is a teacher and has a business cleaning offices. My SIL helps clean offices. I cannot put that together at all. I haven't seen them in 20 years so maybe she cleans her house now.

They all made fun of me calling me Suzie homemaker. I wish my mother were still alive to see my house. She would be so happy. I love you Mom. [/quote]
