Time and feel- an immaculate home, I'm sure it must hurt her to see him liv- ing "in all that dirt." I know how you feel, Mrs. Clean, because my own moth- er-in-law has expressed exactly the same sentiments to every- one who would listen. I admit our home is not as clean as hers, but then whose is? She has made such a fetish of a spotless house that it is pretty nearly a sickness. It is interesting to me, how- ever, that my husband finds his mother's immaculate home as unappetizing as she must find our "pig pen."' I know this is true because I have had to drag him over to his mother's clean house every two weeks for the last eight years.
