[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay in your lane. If you wouldn't go to another adult's house and comment on its cleanliness, why would it be ok to go to your adult child's house and comment on its cleanliness?[/quote]

Well, you don’t love of care about other adults like you do for adults you birthed and raised.[/quote]

What does loving my children have to do with how clean they keep their houses? If I don't suspect the cleanliness is a function of depression or some other health issue, then it's none of my business. I know I taught my kids how to clean and expected them to keep their rooms in my home clean, but it's their decision whether they clean and how much in their own homes.

My oldest son is 25 and bought his house a year ago. He doesn't keep it as clean as I keep my home, but as long as I'm not paying his mortgage (which I'm not, nor did I pay for any part of the down payment), then it's none of my business.

My own mother was critical of me about all kinds of things that weren't any of her business and it certainly didn't endear her to me or make me want to spend time with her.
