[quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like you might be missing a social cue here. If people come in to chat with your friend and take a discrete look around, it’s probably more of a vibe check, not a cleanliness inspection. It is very unlikely someone would cancel a sleepover because someone’s house wasn’t clean. But parents often just feel like it’s part of their due diligence to set eyes on the people and house where they’re leaving their kid. Also, sounds like your friend just likes to make a good impression. If I have the time/energy I often straighten up before people come over even if it’s just a casual coffee. I like my house to look nice when others come over, but I truly don’t care at all when I go to other people’s houses. I think it’s normal and valid that you don’t so that. And agree that it’s wasted on teenage boys anyway![/quote]
