I was speaking to a gf recently about the house cleaning thing and how in my neighbor moms friend group, someone needs to get us started messy. We’re a new friend group and not started casual in home hangs yet but we all have small kids under 5 so our homes are all always messy, probably and none of us want to clean! So one of us needs to set that as precedent of like, come over, in 5 minutes, I haven’t picked up a single toy or vacuumed in days, I have no cute food prepared. Come over. I can’t wait haha
Yes! This is so true - someone has to be first, okay the situation, see that nobody is laughing and then people can feel more comfortable. I feel like our situations are a little similar - all my neighbourhood mom friends are also very new, and nobody has seen each others mess yet, literally or figuratively ðŸ¤I have a plan: start small. First a few toys. Next time they come over it's toys and a couple dishes. Third time I'm not washing the floors etc etc. Ease them in and they won't even remember it clean, like I don't 😆

Good piece! Made me laugh.
Thank you Sam 🥰
Yes exactly ðŸ˜and I think it's mostly internal anyway. I've never been to a house where I cared about the mess
