I have in laws visiting in two weeks for the first birthday. Holy chao have I been cleaning. After all, have to give the "we live perfectly all the time, yes, even with two infants!" look, so the father-in-law doesn't, I dunno, judge? me?
The upshot has been that everything has been way more orderly and peaceful. I keep most things sort of clean, but it's had to be stepped up a notch to actually clean. My mind has been in a much better state since this started. We did get to clean the master bath, too, though, and that hadn't been cleaned since I went on bedrest at 17 weeks, which was the July before last. Now that needed cleaning.
I didn't really grow up in a clean house. The daily ins and outs of keeping a home were all things I had to teach myself. I really would like the kids to not have to learn from scratch like I did.
