I have been prepping my home for the last five hours and I’m exhausted. Couldn’t really do it sooner because I was working. My family always make me feel bad when there is cat hair or dust somewhere. Is it okay to put the bar a little lower? Would it be okay to just do less? What are your own standards about cleaning?

    I get that. What is difficult for me is that I am the person in my family living closest to everyone. Plus, my parents, who are getting older, don’t want to host anymore. I therefore became the de facto host without wanting to be one. But my family have such a high standard of cleaning that I find it difficult to have them over. For example, yesterday, they teased me about the fact that my bedside table was messy, in my own bedroom. I’m tired.

      I refuse to accept that you’re looking for any answer.

      I think validation is what you’re seeking and we can’t give that to you.

      I think it comes down to one of two things, reimagine your relationship with your family, or clean your place.
