Just because you're a bachelor (or bachelorette), you don't need to make excuses for your lifestyle. You know that you're too busy studying, working part-time, or watching necessary reality television programs to be able to properly maintain an unreal cleaning standard.
And that's okay. But if you think that your apartment, basement suite, or dorm room is getting a little too out-of-control, then maybe a few bachelor tips can help you make an adjustment, and make your living space just a tiny bit more tolerable to you, your roommate, and your friends.
I'm living in a one bedroom apartment, and my parents want to come by to visit this weekend. My place is a total wreck. What should I do?

Dear Messy,
Often, a visit from the family can be a stressful experience. Children who have left the nest want to show their parents that they are independent and can take of themselves. Well...screw that nonsense. This will be your lucky weekend!
You know for certain that mom will see your mess, and shake her head in disapproval--right before she sets to work cleaning your entire apartment! And while she's turning your sty into a liveable environment, dad will probably slip you a few extra bucks as long as you "don't tell your mom."
Don't sweat it! You should invite them over more often.
