were a military family stationed in texas. i grew up in oklahoma. were moving to boston at the end of this month. i'm going home this week to spend some time with the family before we leave. there is one thing that really bothers me though. i'm not in any way perfect, but i uphold a certain standard for my guests. my home is always clean, theres always something in the oven, clean towels and individual soaps, shampoos, etc...for my guests. there is no nice way to put this, but.. my moms house is filthy. i mean really really dirty. i dont expect her to lay mints on my pillow or anything. it bothers so much to the point that i have turned down an overnight stay or two with her. i dont have the heart to tell her, but i have two toddlers that put everything in their mouth and that are really touchy. i really want to have a comfortable stay at her house when i visit. is there a nice way to ask someone to clean their house?
