We Mylicon her sometimes when she really seems to be struggling, but I try not to do it if she's just fussy... I try everything else first. Sometimes she just seems to be ticked off, heh.
When my mom came out, we made sure the house was clean when they arrived but I didn't care so much once they were here. We made sure everything was all cleaned up but as the time passed, stuff got moved around. Of course, my mom kept the kitchen clean and vacuumed once so it kept things pretty nice. I did care about the cleanliness of the house for her arrival... maybe when Jen's parents are here over time I will relax. (Part of it is that they've never come to any house we've shared.)
I am not the best about being sanitary but I /am/ a freak about clutter. I /hate/ clutter. When people leave stuff around and it piles on tables and dressers and things, it drives me bonkers. I always want to make nice tidy piles and slip things into drawers!
And yeah, this stuff is hard! But you are a good role model! :)
