Comments on: No Shoes? Come On In http://www.aintyomamasblog.com/no-shoes-come-on-in/ A Postmodern Take on Mommy Blogging Sat, 31 Jul 2010 02:18:10 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Susi http://www.aintyomamasblog.com/no-shoes-come-on-in/comment-page-1/#comment-256 Susi Tue, 10 Nov 2009 05:09:01 +0000 http://www.aintyomamasblog.com/?p=1218#comment-256 Why would anyone WANT to wear shoes inside anyway?!? We don't have a strict policy, but everyone typically takes their shoes off at the door. I tend to slide into a pair of Birks that I've designated "house birks." It's more for comfort than for cleanliness, but I will say that it always seems that when someone walks up the stairs with shoes on, not only do I see the tread tracks, they inevitably leave dirt. "No shoes" is a great policy! Now, if I could just get the twin border collies to wipe their feet before they come in, quit dragging stuff in from outside, and quit shedding, my house might come close to being in some cleanliness range that is at least somewhat remotely near Aimee's on the scale. ;-) Oh, and Aimee, if the Dude complains too much, remind him that you're not the only OCD-er in your home. ;-) Why would anyone WANT to wear shoes inside anyway?!?

I too have light carpet courtesy of a really stupid landlord. I would like to go on record and say this: I HATE CARPET. I think it should be against the law. I despise it and there is nothing good about it. If the day comes that this recession ever ends and we get to buy a house before we are 98 years old I will rip every thread of carpet out of it before I set foot in the door. No one wears shoes in the house so why do I have to clean my carpets every 3 months? Oh and let me say it is not because I am OCD super housewife (anyone who reads us knows I am not anywhere near that) it is because my carpets are genuinely freakin NASTY!!! WTF? It is a total mystery to me. ~RM1 I have a strict No shoes policy in my house for various reasons. I too have light carpet courtesy of a really stupid landlord.

I have light carpet everywhere and it's so hard to keep it clean when you have kids tracking in mud and dirt! I also have that rule.

We're shoe free people, too. Shoes are allowed on the hardwoods or in the kitchen. No where else, though. Found your from SITS! I can so relate. We’re shoe free people, too.

I also hate shoes in the house. I have 3 kids and they have all learned to take off their shoes when they come inside. When they started bringing friends over to play I was surprised to learn that many of them have the same house rules. You're not alone! I can relate! I also hate shoes in the house.

Just stopped by to say hi; hope you'll do the same! I can understand the rule in your situation…but I’m kinda’ laid back I guess…plus I don’t have a white rug!
