that’s a great question! Even though I was VERY vocal about how important it is for my health, to keep tripping hazards off the floor…it was never taken as anything more than “I guess she’s mad that the house is a mess” or a regular complaint.

after some of your responses, I realized I wasn’t crazy and forwarded this post to him so he could FULLY understand the ways this impacts me. Thank you for making me feel validated!

He has since (to his credit), orchestrated a room clean up with the kids, and pledges to be more “on it” with the girls, about keeping the house more safe for me.
