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 don't think that it's a generational thing. Growing up and in my adult life, I have seen people on both ends of the spectrum and in the middle.
When I was a kid, my house was always reasonably clean.
We had neighbors whose houses were pigsties and I recall going into friends homes where we were not allowed to touch anything or sit on the furniture.
I've met the same kind of people in my adult life. I see people that sweep the streets in front of their homes after they finish their daily cleaning and I see people that have let their house fall apart.
I think that most people are in the middle somewhere although I would guess that those who are on the extremes believe that they are in the middle.
