[QUOTE="nvts, post: 108659, member: 3814"] Hi! Not being a jerk here, but has this been a change from the way your daughter's husband grew up? The only reason I ask is that you mentioned in your post that this is a new house to them (a year) and it hasn't been vacuumed since they moved in. If she used to keep a fairly clean house in her old house, and this one has (no pun intended) "gone to the dogs", there may be some sort of depression or even some dementia starting up. If this isn't common from past homes, dear son needs to talk to his Dad and Mom about getting a full blown physical done for Mom. Either way, son should talk to them. I like the playpen idea, but if they leave it there it'll just get dirty like the rest of the house. Also, the idea of hovering just a few inches over the mess grosses me out. My youngest sister has fibromyalgia and is in the middle of a relapse. I've just made it a "nervous habit" to straighten up while visiting. It gives her a break and lets her relax. Maybe dear daughter can "develop" this kind of nervous outlet as well! Good luck, this doesn't seem like there's an easy way to handle this one! Beth [/QUOTE]
