it always embarassed me growing up that our house was kind of dirty.

like i avoided bringing women over and shit because of the clutter.

i cant be the only one who grew up like this.

    It depends on OP’s level of “messy” - as in things are so cluttered you don’t have a desk or other flat surface to do homework on

    I had a parent like yours and I think it was better than what the alternative sounds like

      As a child I had nowhere to do homework, everywhere was a mess. When I was a teenager we didn’t even really have a living room, because it was disgusting and full of junk, they would also constantly argue, meaning I never spent any time outside of my room.

      I wished my parents were anal about keeping things clean.
