No way in the freaking world would he have the balls to say that to me. His mum tried to comment on the state of the house one day and I told her she is more than welcome to clean it. Its no worse than hers anyway and there's only 2 people living there, I have 5 here and I'm the only one that cleans 90% of the time so I'm doing well. Not to mention I have chronic pain so moving at all is a struggle most days. Hubby doesn't care what it looks like and will help as much as he can but I hate him coming home and cleaning after working all week.

No, never. And if I ever mention mess to my in-laws they say “ it’s a lived in family home, not a sterile display home.” I love them!

Hubby and I share the load

God no. If he did it would only happen once

Does it himself

I get why people are saying this is ridiculous but I think it depends on what precedent has been set. My husband might say this to me if he really wasn't able to do it himself, but equally if I had to ask him to do it he definitely would. We both see it as a joint effort to get the house ready when we have guests staying, and we'll both help the other out if necessary

Everyone in our family pitches in for these kind of situations. We all make the mess, we all clean it up! I do a bit more during the week as I work a few less hours than him

If they are from out of town and staying over I would take it upon myself. If they dropped by on regular visits they would have to deal with what they find.

No, but I always tidy before we have visitors anyway. Which I don't mind, as it's a good excuse to clean some things that don't get regularly cleaned at other times.

Im always tidying and cleaning.......We have random people drop in almost every day, does my head in sometimes. I can never just relax or let things go a bit coz i never know who will be here or when. I've also got yo have stocks of snacks and things i can turn into meals for more than just our family. Sometimes it's nice, but sometimes im just not in the mood. Then hubby gets shitty at me and says "i cant read you! Sometimes you're happy to have people here other times you get shitty" well derrr!!! Thing is, hes always happy when people come here. I don't mind hos dad but i do get shitty if he brings MIL with him!

Yes, and I used to do it too, until I realised how stupid I was to do everything.

Haha. Nooooo. He'd never dare say that. He knows the response would be 'you'd better get started then.' I'm not his maid.

I always tidy before people come over anyway and hubby always says the house looks nice.

He wouldn't dare

He knows I would laugh and do the opposite so 😬

Not so much his parents but his friends yes.
