Too tidy

You can be too tidy.  You can be so obsessed with tidiness that you don't give enough attention to more important things. Except in unusual circumstances you do not need to get the vacuum cleaner out three times a day. The surfaces do not need to be polished every day either. Moderation in all things.  It is surely more important to spend time with a friend rather than make her feel guilty that her house does not match up to yours.Of course families do make more work than faces a single person and if you can do the housework with a happy spirit that is very good, but you should always be prepared to stop housework and give attention to your husband or your children.
