Parent-Proofing Your Home

You've heard of baby-proofing your home right?  Well, parent-proofing is very similar.  The only difference is you have to hyper-clean your entire home, I mean everything, or else they will find it.  AND you have to hide all the "adult" items.  Plus you need to mentally be ready for some BS.

And tonight, I have to parent-proof my home because my Hot Mom will be in Idaho tonight!   Dunnn Dunn Dun.  Nothing like waiting till the last minute.

Honestly, I don't think my house can be clean enough when she visits.  Don't get me wrong, I love my mom, but she's still my mom.  Even more so, she's my husband's mother-in-law.  Poor guy!

Again, I love her, but when she visits she likes to pick a part my home, both the lack of decorating and the lack of cleaning.

First of all, we rent.  Actually, we live in company housing, so we can't really do anything about where we live.  Well, I guess we could decorate, but our priorities are different from my moms.  She wants to entertain and I want to keep my light bill on.  :-)

However, if she's willing to foot the bill, I'm willing to let her buy us whatever she wants.  Fat chance that will happen.

So, what do you do when your parents visit?

Oh yeah, like me, this morning I had to hide the "adult" things in our home.  Still gotta do a spot check on that one.  Talk about awkward.
