You did feel judged? See that's what I'm worried about. I mean, I do not do dishes until after the kids leave, alot of the picking up the kids will do as far as toys right before they leave, but during the day they're everywhere. I may have my paperwork sitting on the couch. My daughter may have a school book somewhere. I mean if they want to bop in and do surprise visits, that's fine, but they have to understand that we have alot of kids and the idea isn't to have a spotless house it's to be interacting with the kids.
