What a lovely house your mom has! I love it!

As to your dad's, its a beautiful house, but don't worry about the lack of cleanliness. I know how men are.........I clean our house all the time, and the next minute, my dad or brother make it dirty again. Its frustrating. We just moved and my dad and brother, surprisingly, have been helping with keeping the new house exceptionally clean. I hope it stays this way, even after the excitement of having a new house wears off. Men will be men.
