the living room. But this year they aren't getting anything but a good home made meal. I usually have my husband who helps me clean up. I kinda of get upset because my son and his wife don't even offer to clean up. It never mattered if we were at my mother's home or my in-laws home when she did all the cooking we made sure we washed the dishes and put them away and left the kitchen clean. My daughter-in-law isn't like that. I don't ask because I feel she should do it without asking. So I decided I'll use plastic paper plates so I'd have less to clean. I usually clean pots and pans as I go along. My husband usually does the washing of the dishes but he had to go to work later and I wanted him to rest up. He is always there so you do what you have to do. Thank goodness we only had the immediate family (5 people).
