My house looks the same
I'm so glad that this movie realistically portrays how ungodly messy a house can get when raising kids, even with a parent staying home! I love the scene in the beginning when Caroline wakes the boys up and steps over all the toys. That is totally my living room some days! And when Jack shoves all the toys under the bed with a rake...been there, done that.
That kind of small detail is what makes viewers identify with the characters and love them even more. One of Hughes' gifts.
