[quote=Anonymous]My mom so desperately wanted to be the hang out house - but she was really uptight and had a lot of rules about messes. My friends teased me and called my house “the museum” because it was spotless and my mom would swoop in if anything got out of place or untidy. My mom was also around, in earshot, butting into conversations WAY too much and it made me really self conscious, like I couldn’t talk to my friends without her interjecting. She would also scold or nag me in front of my friends - so I just never had people over. I am trying to cultivate the right balance of being present / aware so nothing dangerous happens, but not butting in or making my kids feel monitored or scared of getting in trouble for things like spilled drinks.
