You can have a cluttered counter with art from school to old mail and be a good parent.
You can have piles of laundry in corners and unmade beds and be a good parent.
You can have toys scattered on the floor and be a good parent.
You can have dirty dishes in the sink and remnants of lunch on the kitchen table and be a good parent.
You can have unfolded laundry on the living room couch for weeks and be a good parent.
Because if you peel back the layers of mess, in that house are kids who can talk to their parents about anything: from friendships to struggles, who are involved in things they are passionate about, who are covered with hugs and kisses and “I love yous,”who spend a lot of time laughing,
and who know to be kind.
Because in that messy “lived in” house are wonderful parents who love their kids more than anything in this world.
And that’s what matters most.
