Now imagine your family insists the inside also has to look like a model home. So clean it looks like no one even lives in it. Then add young children. Then add rich, child-free friends. Then add shows and magazines about redecorating / 'rennovating' every six months. FML.
Keeping up with the Joneses sucks.

- paulryanrogers 4y agoEveryone is certainly free to decide what they consider reasonable cleanliness. With a family though one must either compromise together or demand/comply. And with young kids it's unrealistic to maintain a house so clean it appears unlived in. Unless one can afford servants or someone in the household is willing to take on that work. Aesthetically some of us also prefer a home filled with trinkets and projects, and even with ornate embellishments in the house itself.
