You are not worthy of even the energy it took to have that internal debate.bunnyhttp://glumbunny.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36650952.post-61741384768502657092012-09-29T22:22:42.799-04:002012-09-29T22:22:42.799-04:00Haha!

I'm always tempted to say- eh, it reflects on his cleanliness, not mine, and they are HIS parents. But I don't want my poor mother in law to have to contend with hair balls not of her own making. Plus we see a lot more of my family and he never pulls that card on me.<br /><br />Also, I really like my mother in law, so I want her to be comfortable. Right now, we owe her BIG TIME. She came and stayed for a week and watched both kids all day long- dance class, preschool pick-up, the works, even let us have a fancy dinner out sans kids for our anniversary- so that my husband could do an on-site freelance job last week.

As I am in charge of lots of Sunday School children this weekend I had to decline, but DH is actually going up there to clear the place out. He is quite good at cleaning, he just generally doesn't. Me being home, and all. Also, we hate doing work after kids are in bed. It's much more fun to drink adult beverages and watch Star Trek.<br /><br />Hmm, perhaps Dr. S will feel a cleaning urge tonight or Friday? Or your in-laws will just have to get over it. They're visiting your family, not your house. Which is in WAY better condition than my in-laws place!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03276995787173932700noreply@blogger.com
