How many still get really worried about how .......

My MIL is the best. Even though I'm divorced from her son, she is still my "mom" and I love her dearly. When I married, she still had six kids at home and the last thing she would have been was critical of my housekeeping.

My mother in law is a jewel. Good thing since we share a duplex! Neither one of us would win awards with our housekeeping. But if my mom ever dropped by I'd probably be cleaning for weeks....good thing she lives 2500 miles away.

My was FIL -- MIL was easy to please but he was a bear. He would check the top of the door frame for dust, so when he came I would give him a dust cloth and tell him since he could reach it, he could dust it (I need a step stool to get up there). After the first couple of times, he asked for the dust cloth.

I'm a pack rat and she....well, she throws out last month's magazine when this month's arrives, whether she's read it or not....and that was on her ONE magazine subscription! She passed away earlier this year, 10 years after her DS and I divorced. She was the very loving mom to me that I needed and never had.....so I never had to worry about cleaning. She accepted me for who I was and understood.

My philosophy for the last fifty years has been..."Quilting forever...housework,.........whenever"...and anyone who knows me knows that I'm sincere; that included my now departed MIL.
So no, no worries when she came to visit.
