Luckily, most of the people I knew were poor too so it wasnt really an issue. But I was always aware of it. We never had people over because the house was always a wreck. That really had nothing to do with being poor. I think it's a combination of the number of kids you have v/s how willing to clean you are. Even then you're playing the odds. If you clean the house NOBODY will come. Yet as soon as the kids tear up a bag of Doritos on the living room carpet like rabid wolves (while you're playing Warcraft), "Knock knock." Every stinkin time. Growing up, we were poor and looked the part. Luckily, most of the people I knew were poor too so it wasnt really an issue. But I was always aware of it.
