AIBU. There is a programme on at the moment called Filthy House SOS. They are currently in the house of a 59 year old woman with two small dogs who cannot be bothered to clean. The house is a new-ish three bed semi. There are three bushes in the garden that are perfectly pruned.

She has 'immaculate' makeup and is well dressed. The two youngish men who present the programme have come in to clean her house for her.

If this was me, I would be mortified allowing people to come into my house in this state.

As far as I can see and hear, the lady in the house is perfectly capable of cleaning her own house.

Have they run out of genuine filthy houses, or am I being unreasonable.

Yammy I'm not quite as bad as your mother but the scenario sounds familiar ? regarding a tidy house but cupboards jammed full.

It (whatever it is) might come in useful one day.

I'm glad she wasn't the only one.
My mum was more house proud than I am and far cleaner I do a big clean once a week.
Yes her house did appear neat and tidy but you didn't dare open a cupboard everything just fell on you and nothing was in the appropriate room. We played hunt the nut crackers every Christmas and the scissors were never in the same drawer.

My bad habit is that if I use something up I buy two. So I have a streak of her in me but mine would be in it's asigned place.

My mother threw things out regularly.
I think it's my reaction to that.

Unknown to us they do have an effect on us. Things that you thought would be useful probably went out and that stops you now. My aunt marked tins as she put them in the pantry and used them in rotation I'm not quite as bad as that.
