nice people

They sure did get every penny that they asked for. And by the they were very nice people. We sure do miss them.

To less than perfect

You are obviously teaching your kids to be slobs as well

Hey Perfect !

I spend plenty of time with my kids.
My husband just happens to take pride in the appearance of our home. He spends very little time on the yard, but he does do a little bit almost every day. You are just using an excuse for being lazy. I'm glad I don't live next to you.

Get a grip PEOPLE !!

I am neither a slob or a neat freak. I think for the most part I keep my home looking nice from the street. Curb appeal is important, it tells people, strangers,friends, passerbys and especially neighbors, that I do care about my home and what it looks like. Nobody is asking people to water 24/7 and spend their whole day pruning and trimming. Just make it look decent, is that too much to ask ? Is that about right or am I off base ?
