super clean relatives houses

[mousymum]

HI I have to go to aunties today with my DH and 3DDs.I feel really depressed about it as they have no kids and super organised house. All my female relatives are also super good cooks. I thought about feigning sickness but getting too late as have to go soon.What would you do.Can't pretend life with 3 kids and dog is perfect anymore.Feel like I lie to everyone.

sorry i dont know your story

but i have 3 kids too ( but no dog)and I'm not perfect or a super good cook

i am permanently tired, so i woudl go, then say i had a headache and coudl i lie down so i coudl have a quiet nap. have the relatives look after the kids for teh afternoon. coem down later and enjoy the lovely dinner cooked by soemone else. make sure kids and Dh help with washing up. sorted. perfect aftrenoon

they must enjoy your company or they woudlnt have invited you all
