Podcast 202 Letting People Into Your Home and In On Your Slob Secret at ASlobComesClean.com fb

I’m answering questions about when it’s okay to let people into the house, how to know when you’re ready and your house is ready.

I’m also talking about friendships and the getting-to-know-you awkward conversations and assumptions about housekeeping being easy for women and not for men, and how to get past this into deeper friendships.

      Sorry I didn’t say! It’s Time Passage Awareness Disorder.

    My husband and I both grew up in cluttered homes, and our parents became hoarders in their old age. Needless to say, I was never taught housekeeping skills. I am still learning many things about housekeeping, thank you Dana and many other people for your input. Although now my home would be considered “normal” by many people, some friends have asked me: why do you fold your sheets wrong?; why do you have dishes in your sink? (didn’t they notice that there are no dishes on the counter and those dishes are from breakfast this morning?!); why don’t you fold your laundry from the dryer? don’t you know that you are supposed to clean your toilet twice a week? I have learned that “Humility, after the first shock, is a cheerful virtue.” When I have an attitude of grace toward these friends, I learn something (even when I don’t follow their advice) and do not resent them. I also need them to overlook my faults.

    I am not disgusted by my slob friends’ messy houses because I know that my wonderful mother is much worse, and that it is hard to clean and declutter. Your “normal” friend may have a history to overcome, and may be more understanding than you know.

A Slob Comes Clean is the completely honest (and never-ending) story of my deslobification process. As I find ways to keep my home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organization methods that actually work for a real-life slob. And I'm funny.
