one would think that if you are looking so see if someone's house is 'clean' in spots that are hidden, then you would expect it because YOURS isn't clean in those spots.
we do and accuse others of our greatest faults.
going through ANYTHING that you don't have permission to go through is rude, borders on stealing/lying. it's sneaky and makes a person non-trustworthy.
what next? the bedroom drawers? medicine cabinet? if you want to know something about someone, ask them and be a grown up about it.
yea i peak..mostly because i like seeing what a actually clean shower, or floor looks like!
because mine seldom looks like it has been cleaned....even tho it has.
with 8 adult dogs and various puppies, one house chicken, 1 messy dh and 2 house guests. ....i clean in mornings and by afternoon ya can't tell it.....
I hate housekeeping and usually have better things to do (like almost anything else-even go to the dentist). My house isn't a real pigsty but it's a far way from spotless.
Whenever a cleaning issue comes up, I remember a quote I read from Reader's digest. It was one of those little quotes on the funny things kids say. A little girl was overheard telling her friend "Grandma doesn't care if you write in the dust, just don't put the date on it."
I can't imagine doing something like that. What difference does it make how clean someone's house is? I have so many other things that are far more important in my life than dust or soap scum. Who cares? We are friends/family/acquaintances. I am much more interested in the way the person treats me than in how much time they devote to mindless drudgery.
My In-laws were snoops! They'd go thru anything and everything in my place. My husband didn't mind, 'cause he was the same way.
I am starting to be able to keep my place cleaner than in the past, my children now realize the rewards of coming home to a clean home, not coming home to one where someone would tell them to do whatever they were to do before they left, and they didn't complete it. Now more or less, they are able to just relax after coming home.
They've recently asked me why don't I do the chore charts any longer, my reply back was that I changed that rule, we've lived here for 9 years, and every one knows what needs to be done, just get it done. If something doesn't get picked up and put away, I will throw it away. If you want/need it bad enough, you will take care of it yourself, instead of waiting for me to take care of it, 'cause you will not like how I do the deed.
Once, one of my sisters thought she'd help me by cleaning my house for me when I was at work. She was told by my children not to touch anything on our dining room table, as I was in the process of sorting through all the piles: recipes, news articles, school paperwork, magazines, catalogs etc. I came home to a much cleaner house, was impressed, then I got infuriated when I saw the dining room table. My sister had put the different piles into one large pile - all mixed up! I called her up and told her if my children told you themselves not to touch the table, you should have respected my orders.
She came over after 1 week, and the one large pile was still there, 'cause I was still so angry about it that I couldn't even touch the pile.
When I go over to anyone's place, yes, I look around in a minor way. I have had to go into some of my people's homes and you do not know what they would have, depending on where they lived: spiders, snakes, ants, ( all wild, of course).
