A clean house? Yeah right...🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️

Question

How do y’all keep a clean house? I maybe clean 3times in a day and it somehow is destroyed by the time my husband gets home my daughter just loves dragging everything out and I try to pick up after myself and put things back when I’m done with it, but it’s like I set something down and then something comes up and I’m just like “oh I’ll get that after I’m done handling this” and then I just forget about it! I have 2 kids 14 months apart so it’s like once I’m done feeding one the other meeds to be fed or once I’m done with one diaper the other needs a change! I’m so behind on laundry and my bedroom, my husband helps as much as he cans but he works 5am-3:30pm and gets home at 4-5 depending on traffic. I just want to be clean but when I actually have time to do anything the days already over. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I feel so bad for not having a spotless house like his moms and she has 2 kids as well (she had 2 more kids in her 40s) and they’re 3-5years old but even then her house always seems to be super neat! My husband says it doesn’t bother him as long as the kids are taken care of and it’s not disgustingly bad where it starts to smell and what not, but for some reason it bugs the hell outta me. I even try picking up before he comes home, but then toys get dragged out all over again! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️😩😩

Answer

Employ your child. Seriously. Once my daughter could follow direction she helped me. When she gets dressed that means SHE not ME puts her dirty clothes in the hamper. When Mommy does laundry she brings her basket to the kitchen. All her toys have a basket and a “home”. Before we leave the house all toys must be put away, etc. You get he picture 🙂
My house isn’t perfect but I set a goal each day and make sure I accomplish at least that. I also will ask my husband to take the kids outside for a half hour and you’d be surprised how much can get done when you have 30 minutes with no kids!

Answer

our family consists of one energized toddler and three animals. my fiance works looong hours and I'm in school full time on top of being home. My daughter is 1.5 and I make her clean up with me. She helps wipe down tables and the high chair, she helps pick up toys, and now she's really into trying to help my vacuum ( I generally give her the swifter and left her follow me). we don't vacuum and mop every day but things are always picked up and wiped down. my fiance and I hate messes and get really moody if the house is a mess. and my kid thinks it's so fun to help us clean.

Answer

Kids can start helping pick up toys and do simple tasks from an early age. Perhaps try to enlist them? Plus it’s good learning for them (responsibility and helping and such)

Answer

ROOMBA!!! I have a baby and two dogs so I was sweeping constantly and then I bought myself a roomba for Christmas and it was a game changer! 😎

Answer

I like a clean home but I try not to stress about toys on the floor. During nap time I try to clean my floors. I usually do the laundry in the early morning after my baby gets up and I feel like I wash dishes all day. I get most of my stuff done during nap time. So I try to clean the bathroom and whatever else. I have a small apartment so it takes me very little time to clean. But I always find it’s a heck of a lot easier if I keep up with things throughout the day

A clean house? Yeah right...🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️
