I’m learning to enjoy the clutter a little. Dysfunctional at times but I will say my house is clean! I vacuum everything (including those base boards that get yucky!), sweep the hard wood floors every week, and quick mop every 2 weeks. Wipe down the counters daily. 
But our kitchen is always cluttered with baby stuff, medicine and supplements in a basket (but scattered around) the kitchen table. Need to find a way to organize it in a lockable compartment for when baby is mobile. 
Small house so it’s easy to clutter fast! If company comes over we clean the kitchen table fast and pick up... but it takes like 10-15 mins tops.

My first son is 13. My house has looked like a model home for years, sometimes too clean. I just had my second son 6 months ago and I can’t wait for my house to be a mess! I can’t wait for toys to be everywhere on both stories of my house, I can’t wait to step on Lego’s, and I can’t wait to yell “If these toys aren’t picked up I’m throwing them out”! 😂 Okay, the last one was kind of a joke, but after being a clean freak mom for all these years I’m looking for some excitement!

Answer

I have a whole day that I clean the whole house. Then everyday I just pick things up, do dishes, maybe wipe down counter tops if needed, and sweep/mop every other day. I have a 29 year old, 2 year old and 3 dogs￼🙂

Answer

Yes, I’ve been snapping on my big kids (14 and 16) because they should be helping but just make things worse instead 😫. The one day they actually picked up after themselves was because I broke down crying while trying to clean their shit up and cluster feeding the baby every half hour.  They left a mess behind before going to school today, mostly Christmas presents out...so guess what they won’t have once they get home 🤷‍♀️ I’m extremely fed up at this point and they’re lucky they own anything at all right now

Answer

Boys, girls they are all messy. But yes I clean a lot too. I usually try to do a quick tidy after breakfast. Then around 12 during naps, I put on laundry, load or unload the dishwasher, sweep and pick up. Then do a quick Clean up before dinner then after everyone’s in bed I do a full clean cause I hate waking up to a dirty house.

Answer

It used to bother me a lot! I'm slowly learning to let go a little so I can enjoy my kids more than trying to clean all the time. I work full-time though so my time is already limited. My husband bought me a Roomba for Christmas and that has helped me not have to clean the floors as much.

Answer

Yes, and we have a cleaning lady come Monday-Friday for 4 hours per day and our house still gets messy.
