I've had my parents (en mass) over once, and my father (on his lonesome) once, since I moved in. So that's in six years. It's not that they'd necessarilly comment on the state of the house. In fact, Mum would probably start tidying up for me.
Her theory is it's far simpler to clear up somebody else's mess, and then leave, than it is to clear up your own mess, knowing that you'll be facing the same situation again a few days later.
I ought to let them visit again, but I want to get the place reasonably tidy first.
