Miss Manners: Grown children can clean room after visit – Wed, 18 Feb 2015 PST

DEAR MISS MANNERS: We are the 80- and 85-year-old parents of adult children who visit from out of state. I no longer want to provide maid services forthem.

Is it inhospitable to ask them to leave the guest bedroom and bathroom/shower as clean as they found it when they arrived? I placed a pail and cleaning products in their bathcabinet.

When we visit friends homes, I roll up the bed linen and bring used towels to our hosts laundry, and clean the toilet and bathroom. What guidelines are acceptable to request of ourfamily?

GENTLE READER: Guessing that your children are at least over 40, Miss Manners thinks you may be a bit late in bringing them up to be goodguests.
