So, I (27F) have 3 toddlers, and as you can imagine, my house is constantly a mess. Meals on the floor, toys everywhere, tantrums, the usual chaos.
One day, my MIL came over to visit, and when she walked in, she wrinkled her nose and immediately said, “This place is a disaster! If CPS saw this, they’d take the kids!”
I was absolutely crushed. My heart dropped, and I could feel myself on the verge of tears. I mean, I’m just trying to survive day by day and do the best I can for my kids.
Then, to my shock, my husband (30M) smirked and said, “Because you see just a mess, and I see a mom who is too busy caring for our kids and their needs to worry about a perfect house. My wife never even has a moment to herself.”
