Invited guest without checking I've tidied up?!!!

I want to kill my DH, he's done it so many times! House is a bloody tip after a bit of a mad morning with DD, not to mention the three loads of washing in differing stages of completion.

DH is out fitting a new bulb on the car and he asks neighbour to pop across to look at something in the house he needs help with. I got about a 30 second warning. He may not survive the afternoon!!! Grr!

AIBU to expect a tiny bit of thought before inviting someone over?! Sorry just needed a rant! Thankyou

When I was in hospital once, my MIL came round and did a deep clean of my kitchen, I'm talking DEEP, the oven, all the tile grouting, backs of cupboards etc etc. To be fair, it wasn't that bad when she did it and it was very kind but my god, did I ever feel judged!

That's the nicest thing she ever did for me - isn't that a good passive aggressive statement?

I thought you meant he'd invited someone to dinner or something. I'd hardly class asking a neighbour to give him a hand with something as inviting a guest in.

Oh OP my DH does this too and though it makes me SO mad I have to calm down as really...it doesn't matter. He came home for lunch with a colleague in the middle of the day and the kitchen actually smelled bad because I'd not washed last night's dinner plates!

YABVU - he's asked a neighbour to help him with a job, not the Queen for afternoon tea - what does it matter what your house looks like.
I'd expect a family home to be 'lived in' if I were just popping in without notice and if I had been invited in advance, tbh.
