[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus. The first thing I notice is that we are all working our asses off in a high COL place trying to do the best we can with jobs, family, etc.  my hous is messier than I would like in an ideal world, and I expect yours will be as well.  Truly dirty or messy to the point of hoarding is different, but garden variety 'I didn't have time or energy to clean as I might like' after working all day and dealing with kids, just is a fact of life.[/quote]

I think all this is fine for day-to-day. But if you can't clean up a bit for guests, then when DO you clean? Don't have guests over.[/quote]

Absolutely, I should definitely make sure to clean up before a play date with one and four year olds because they won't scatter the toys or mess up the kitchen.  I have had plenty of people come over plenty of times so I feel just fine hosting, even if you prima donnas don't approve.[/quote]

NP. OK, calm down, Defensive Debbie. But it is an iteresting question...can you answer it? If you don't clean up A BIT for guests...when DO you clean?[/quote]

I will spruce it up before a visit from child protective services.[/quote]

In the time it took you to comment all over this thread this morning, you could have given your kitchen a once-over, or folded a load of laundry, or de-cluttered a drawer.[/quote]

And it is her time, her day and her house.  She chose to sip a cup of coffee and surf the internet instead of tidying and cleaning.  [/quote]

Well put.  But to the extent I have to justify the use of my time, I was actually at work (a concept many of those demanding domestic perfection likely only know vicariously through their husbands) and was taking a 5 minute break while waiting for someone to get me information I needed to continue working on something.[/quote]
