I have always had "a problem" with the kids bringing friends home for tea. Mainly because I view my house as a pigsty and am embarrassed by it but also because I'm not very authoritive and the kids tend to run riot.
Anyway, not wanting to pass my anti-social attitude onto DS, I am allowing him to have a friend home tonight.
But I'm stressing like mad, hoovering, tidying, ironing, cleaning...and then I get a moment of rational thought and think "why on earth would an 8 year old lad care what state the house is in??" and I feel daft...but then I think "still, mustnt embarrass DS..." and get back to my cleaning and tidying preperation
Please tell me I'm mad and that the lad won't even notice what the house is like...?
