I know everyone has different standards about how they keep their house, but we went round for a lunch/playdate thing today and I was really shocked at how messy the house was.
I have never been judgy about this type of thing ever before (and have lived in my fair share of minging student houses in the past), but it really was shocking to me. Stuff everywhere, clutter, laundry, broken things, things piled up in corners, stuff all down the stairway, stuff all over bathroom floor. The kitchen you could not see any surface and there was a huge (more than one night) pile of dirty pans.
I know we all have our off days, but I was pretty shocked that she invite me over when it was like that.
I am pretty sure she does not have any mental issues, is a SAHM with two kids and happily married/not short of money, the DC sleep well etc. Are some people naturally this messy? If she is too busy why doesn't the husband not pull a finger out and do some tidying when he gets home?
I nearly laughed when she suggested her DC tidy their toys before lunch, as they were by far the least of the mess/chaos.
I was grateful for lunch and she is nice but it has weirded me out a bit seeing how they live.
Anyone else been truly shocked by someone's house?
