[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a home with a parent who is a semi hoarder. I cleaned the house when I was a child and when I invited people over. After I moved out, I realized during a visit that my parent had not cleaned the house, including the bathroom for years. There had been a full mouse infestation at some point, and mold and mildew to a point that a visiting sibling would complain about itching eyes and stuffy nose. Because of the way we grew up, we both keep really clean homes. No cleaners, we do it ourselves. We just like being in a clean, clutter free environment. Chores are a part of life and having the kids participate is important for their self-esteem and development. I do expect food to stay in the kitchen and toys generally in the playroom. Strangely enough, people do like to come over. I do judge other people’s homes if they are especially dirty (and not just messy), probably because it reminds me of my childhood home.[/quote]
