What do you have to say about this? Have times changed?
I still see a lot of well kept homes on the outside and visit a lot of well kept homes on the inside here in The Villages. I haven't been in anyone's home that was dingy or not well ordered here.
Are we too scrupulous as a group or just right? How do our children and grandchildren approach this subject? Were we silly or right about our standards for cleanliness of boomers or better?

I for sure think it is a generational "thing". Like cursive penmanship and phone land lines and paper phone books...
I wanted to spend time with my kids doing memorable things so they didn't have the memories I did, of mother cleaning house. My home in TV is tidy and neat, but because I don't have any kids living in it. My generation wants to experience life, not live within standards other set for us...
I am a Villager, semi-retired at 49 because I saved every penny and lived a simple life. I am guessing the OP is a good 30 years my senior. We share the same profession, although you were most likely respected in your day...unlike teachers of today!
Hard to define exactly which generation you are referring to since Villagers can range from 45-100+...
