Mil and fil are coming over tomorrow. Mil is very very house proud, she irons pillow cases socks and her house is immaculate. I on the otger hand am not a natural house wife, a kid person would say my house feels "lived in" an honest person would say it is scruffy/homely.
I was talking to dp and asked him if their home was ever messy when mil/fil had 4 small children? He answered "no. Never." very solemnly.
Mil asked me when ds was a newborn how I expected to have enough time to breastfeed him with all the extra washing? I told he I just had a policy of not buying things that were hard to washor needed ironing so the washing wasn't a big chore.
Should I dash round cleaning Windows and ironing sofa cushions tonight or just let her be shocked at my baby safe but no where near show home apartment?
