There is a difference between clutter and filth. Clutter comes from accepting a certain entropy caused by the natural tendency of children and daily living towards disorder. Filth is caused by a careless disregard for health, aesthetics and a decent basic quality of life. Methinks that Sportswidow is concerned that a friend may see clutter and think filth. Don't sweat the small stuff, Widow. Life is living, not creating stasis and sterile, untouchable perfection. So live a little, have people over spontaneously. If they are offended that you have to move toys or laundry before they can sprawl on your couch, let them stand while you converse. It never offends anyone to see some minimal tidying during a casual social visit. Life does not stop when a guest walks through the door. So long as you don't get the vacuum out, or start on a load of dishes, you will be fine.
