my mom is cluttery and my dad is not. i dislike clutter but i tend to be cluttery. still, i notice when my mom would come over after i had tidied, suddenly where i had three separate clear surface areas, i suddenly had three separate cluttered surface areas. they have been married what 40 years now.
