This chapter challenges the societal expectation of a perfectly clean house, highlighting the beauty in the mess and chaos that comes with having children, questioning whether a spotless home truly reflects good parenting.
Some people’s houses look like they don’t even have kids. You see it on the Instagram accounts of the picture-perfect influencers. Or you go to a dinner party at a house that seems way nicer than yours. Where is the evidence of the kids? The mess. The piles of toys. The smudges on the windows and the walls. You know these people have kids, but somehow it looks like regular people live there instead of feral animals.
Maybe this makes those parents proud. Maybe this makes you jealous or insecure.
