Messy Houses

I think if you are going over to visit someone, they should pick up their house. Am I stuck up...my house is not the neatest...rarely do we have it spotless, but I DO make sure we pick up our things every other night and vaccum so it is not dirty. We have pets and that can add to the clutter and mess AND we have mail sitting around some...but I want someone to be able to walk into my house at any time and not be morified by the clutter, mess, or dirt and grim. To be honest, if you have children, they need to be responsible for their own items. It will teach them skills for later in life that will help them keep their own places and items neat or organized.

We have clutter...things get messy....but we always take time at least twice a week to pick up and keep it clean.
