I always try to keep my house fairly nice and tidy. But whenever I hear that either my parents or my in-laws are coming over, I always go on a cleaning frenzy. My husband always giggles to himself a little as he watches me go about like a cleaning person on steroids.
Both my mom and my mother-in-law are housewives. Therefore, they pride themselves on how well they keep their house all nice and clean. They also are more likely to notice anything that is out of place or a tad bit dusty at another person’s house.
