One of my sons friends mothers, was so funny...she raised three wild boys, was an Air Force wife for more than 20 years, always had several pets, and the kids always like to crowd into either her house or my house...
Her house, most of the time, looked like a hurricane had struck, and you know, it never phased her at all...she would just say, she had spent way too many years, in military housing, trying to always keep things neat and clean, and by gosh, once she bought her own house, no one was going to do a white glove inspection, and tell her how to keep house...
Her attitude was that, you were coming over to visit her or her hubby, or the kids, you were not visiting the house, and if you did not like her house that way it was, Well, then, she said, "Get the H-ll Out"..
I am with her on this one...
