My DM keeps going on about how my house needs a good tidy. Yes, probably it does. However she then uses her friend's daughter's house as a comparison (she has 3 children, I have 2)
DM's friend's DD has huge house, with utility room, play room, a bedroom for each child, a lean to so she can hang washing outside in wet weather as well as a dishwasher and a tumble dryer etc. She's a lovely woman, and I know she isn't particularly precious about cleaning either but she has the space and utilities to better hide her mess.
I have a 2 bed flat with both DC in one room, radiators and airers to dry clothes on, no room for dishwasher, no room for tumble dryer (no money to run the thing anyway!) there are sometimes toys on the floor when the kids are playing.
She keeps saying "oh what a lovely house so and so has." and looking around my place with disdain. Of course she bloody has! You can't see her washing/washing up - its all in the utility room/tumble dryer/dish washer! And the play room always looks standard to me, a bit messy but only things the kids are playing with.
Why is my DM comparing the two? Our situations aren't the same! AIBU?

To think the two aren't comparable?
