Kim, there's a difference between a messy house and a dirty house.
If your bathtub is black, you got a layer of dust so thick on your furniture, you cannot see the woodwork under it and your kitchen counters are so cluttered with trash, dirty dishes and ickiness-there's no available space, then you've got a dirty house and yes, that would concern me as a housekeeper- let alone a mental health person.
If there are clothes drapped over a chair, the floor has a couple of loose pieces of lint on it, the kitchen has a couple of dirty dishes on the counter top and the bath sink has got some toothpaste film in it-then it's probably just a messy and not a big deal.

They sometimes even try to get me to wear dresses and do my hair, wear dressy,'pretty' clothes(Hey I wear clean, neat clothes even if most of it's sports stuff)...I feel like they're trying to 'polish' me, I see keeping a neat house, but nagging me for what I choose to wear everyday? I have to wonder if people in these programs who dress 'Goth','Punk','urban' as their daily style(not for a job interview or formal thing)get nagged?
