I have been unwell this week and my parents are coming this morning to sort out the garden. A slightly unkempt garden is the equivilent of a inner city slum to my parents ;D Why does my house go from looking reasonably tidy until the parent visit. I see the house through there eyes and all of a sudden the panic and shame hits To be fair my parents are mega tidy and organised but it still makes me feel a bit c**p!

Dont worry Mrsmuddle I know how you feel! I am sure your parents are very understanding of you and dont mind! I know what you mean, i find my little flat quite well kept until I know my parents or the boyfriends parents are coming to visit and I go into panic mode. I think its natural! My mum always comes round to the flat and cleans I bet a lot of people would find that annoying but when you get back from holiday and all your washing and ironing is done its quite nice! Lily x

Cheers Lily! To be fair to them since I had my ADHD diagnosis they don't give me such a hard time about things. It's mostly my emotional scares I think LOL! I will provide lots of tea and sandwiches

Our house gets a spring clean when my Mum and Dad are coming to stay.. I cover all the most remote corners but somehow still seem to miss the screamingly obvious.
My Mum tells me that she used to the do the same before my Grandma came to stay with them.
I know that as long as the basics are maintained they would not be judgemental but it is purely something that I put myself through. I still hvae to maintain this facade of coping even though they know I am dxd with ADD.
On the plus side I try to look at it as a) a period of intensive exercise, b) a positive all round as the place usually needs it, c) cathartic.
