Clean your house like an adult, not be so petty

“YTA Look, she’s a bit of an a**hole for leaving a mess. She should have cleaned the counter and made sure she and her guests took off their shoes. That being said, your response was extreme and out of the blue, so much that it overshadows her assholery. A natural consequence would be insisting that she vacuums, mops the floor, and cleans the counter, then perhaps warning her that if she doesn’t remember to clean up after her guests, you’ll charge her $20 or something reasonable for reminding her to do so. Mental illness is really tough, but frankly the way she left the house was “messy” or “untidy” but not even close to “ruined.” If a normal, non-professional can’t reach your cleaning standards, your cleaning standards are far too high.”

Is the stepmom overreacting? Footprints and crumbs seem minor.
