I.i.s to panic and clean when your kids school friends come round

My mums house was quite messy and it really embarrassed me bringing friends home,I did and they never judged but I hated (she did have a lot of issues) so now when I arrange friends coming round of my children,on the day and day before I panic and gut the entire house.anything usually stored in the way,say the hoover box I shut in my room out of sight. My house is generally tidy and clean but we are a family of six (4kids) so it does get messy.my mums and husband we're moaning yesterday and do every time that I'm not sat with them and I'm running round tidying for our "visitor" today and it really bugged me.i know I probably worry too much but I always feel pressure that our house isn't good enough and that the parents will look down at us when they pick up and the kid will compare and say something to my kids or their parents...I just wondered if it's normal...I am compensating as there are so many of us so a Normal sized family home probably doesn't get as messy as ours even though I clean it every day.
