Dear Lizzy

Poly inna closet and housekeeping
Dear Lizzy,

Is it dishonest of me that I am not "out" as polyamorous to most my family? What, in your opinion, is the best way to break the news to them once we do decide (together) to do so? (i.e. tell them alone, tell them with the partner that they know, introduce them to the other partner, etc...)

Poly Inna Closet

( First off, why do they need to know? )

Dear Lizzy,

I am a terrible terrible housekeeper. I hate living in the mess I live in, but I also hate cleaning. How can I motivate myself to clean more often and better?

Not the Happy Housekeeper

( Enh. Got me. But here are some suggestions. )

How about the rest of you? Does anyone else have good suggestions?
