I do have to say, that's a bit of a disaster area, but it's not a biohazard. Grandma was way overreacting. Still, if you're financially dependent on your family you may want to look at it this way: keeping Grandma happy is your job. It sucks, but you don't want to burn that bridge and you really don't want to get fired... so to speak.

It sounds like the best thing to do for the sake of mutual family sanity is to bear with it for now, and walk away when you can. As for Grandma...well, it's easy to criticise when you don't have to do the "suggested" work/fixes yourself."For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.

That doesn't look that bad. I've seen way, way worse. Some people just have an obsessive thing going on with cleaning & decluttering. I know someone who can't stand to see the newspaper (neatly folded up) left laying on the coffee table; he has to toss it in the recycling bin immediately after reading it. He once threw away the cap for a spice bottle as his wife was using the spice at the stove. She's as bad; she had to throw away a newspaper clipping that was lying on the (otherwise bare) counter because "I can't stand clutter."When you start at zero, everything's progress.Comment

My maternal grandmother was a SAHM; she kept her house so clean you could go to the darkest, most remote corner of the basement, and eat off the floor. I'd love to have a house like that ... provided somebody else was doing the work.
