[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 477410, member: 2315"] Sorry I was away for a few days and haven't posted. I'm glad things are starting to get done. Don't give up! Keep hounding them to help clean up and you will have an orderly environment (hopefully very soon).I used to joke that I wanted a house that flushed when my boys lived at home. I also said that I wanted no horizontal surfaces for people to pile things on. But honestly sometimes a person can get so buried in stuff that they put off inviting people over for a visit. Time passes and they continue to not see people they care. They about become imprisioned by the idea that they have to have a perfectly clean house to entertain. I understan this to a certain degree. Iused to be a clean freak and people never caught me with a messy house. Now that I'm older and sicker I cannot keep up like I used to. At first I was embarrased and didn't invite people in but now I just clean the rooms that they are going to see as best as I can. I love seeing my family and even though I am tired after a visit the laughter and comradery while they are here is really good medicine. I remember something my mother said to me in her old age. "Just try to do one room a day and maintain what you have done." You will never have the entire house spotless at the same time but you will never have any one room in such a bad state you will be embarrased by a drop in. -RM [/QUOTE]
