Who, me?
Why would i want to go to someone else's home when they're just going to make me uncomfortable?
Like I said in my previous post - I do not go and visit people who have such rules because I don't like it. I'm not missing much, though, because there aren't many people I'll ever visit, anyways, who care that much.
I keep my house clean *FOR* my company to come, visit, and be comfortable - I clean it before they come and I clean it after they come, as well.
My floors aren't that big of a deal - cleaning isn't a big deal - sweep sweep, vacuum vacuum. tada - as if nothing ever happened.
Maybe when I'm old and stingy and my kids are all out of the house I'll think differently but so far the messes I've had to haggle and break my back to clean up are things caused by my own children: permanent marker on the floor, mud, vomit, poo, all those wonderful children things.
Yet I still keep my home very clean - gee, however do I manage with all these people coming in an out with their boots on :roll:
Obviously it's just not that big of a deal for me - if company makes a mess I enjoy their presence enough to clean it up without putting them out.
