(pur home has been messy for 20 years, and we have nooo problems relaxing :D It's all a matter of state of mind. And mine is certainly a state :lol:)

I agree to a point. But if it's causing you distress, or if you feel things are out of control (never a good feeling); or keeping you from having people in your home, even just to fix stuff or do necessary things, then--make a plan, take some steps. If it's not perfect, so what?

The rest can wait til you retire. Or die. Then it'll be a bonding experience for your kids.

Don't listen to her! She's crazy!!!!

oh yes, distress is bad. but sometimes it's easier to fix your distress triggers than your house.... ;) after all, pets don't care, so it must be a learned behaviour..... :D

why not aim for the bext you can do given the time and willing avaialable? (you may assume a positive correlstion between distress over mess and willingness)

God damn! There sure are a lot of people that want to tell other people how to live. If you don't like it, don't let the door hit you in the ass, ya judgmental pricks. :p

Aliantha 01-27-2009 10:49 PM
What is it with all the pricks around this place this arvy???

xoxoxoBruce 01-27-2009 10:50 PM
They're too damn judgmental.

Cloud 01-27-2009 11:02 PM
because lived in is comfortable and slovenly is a health hazard. I would never be comfortable or happy in a too-clean house or a Martha Stewart type house.

Bah, those clean freaks never build up any resistance... the terrorists will wipe them out in the first wave.

Aliantha 01-27-2009 11:52 PM
That's why you get your kids to play in the dirt. It's just better if they don't have to live in it. ;)

Clutter (mess) does not equal dirty/unhealthy... that's a connection too many people (my mother) incorrectly make.
