How do you do it?

Question

When do you get your shit done? When the baby is asleep? You go to the bathroom, maybe eat something and you have 5 minutes remaining but the list is endless 😩 
I miss my house being clean 😭😭😭

Answer

Honestly I had to let go of the "super" clean house idea and usually do my clean up before bed. During the day I do the major areas whenever I get a chance.
Same with the laundry, I do it in parts and ironing day the following day etc. 
Today it took me 4 hours to make/prep dinner where usually it would take an hour. This was because baby wouldn't nap, cried every time I left the room etc. I carry him a lot to try to rest him and sometimes do things, but difficult as this just increases time doing tasks lol.
Basically just put it in your mind that you can't do it all. The mind honestly rests afterwards! Prioritize your important list and do what you can.

Answer

Baby wearing and lower your expectations.

Answer

My house isnt clean. Priorities get done. (Laundry, dishes, food, tidying). Every 4-6 weeks we manage the rest (bathrooms, floors, dusting.) 
House will be clean eventually...

Answer

Yes honey I am right there with you. I clean throughout the day but there are times where I get so busy and can't even go pee, my bladder is really strong these days 🤣🤣 I sometimes just let my get be messy until bedtime and try to do more then.

Answer

When my LO was first born this was so hard for me too. It felt like I was always pumping or tending to babies needs and the house just got worse.. As my LO has gotten older it’s been a little easier to set him up in a safe place, like a chair with snacks next to me, his pack n play, etc. and get stuff done. I mostly do the bulk of the work when he’s down for a nap or bed for the night. I’ll set a 15 minute timer and that’s the time I have to get as much done and that’s that. Then once a week I have my hubby take the LO to his grandparents or for a walk or something and deep clean the house the way I want. I love my husband and he tries so hard but he’s not me and I’ve come to learn my expectations for the house are too high so I don’t push them on anyone but myself lol. It does get easier!! Good luck mamma!

Answer

I just do what I can do. Some days I clean our whole place. Some days I clean one too. And some days I clean nothing. It just depends on my son’s needs and how I feel that day.

Answer

We love our cleaning lady and our roomba for between her visits 😂

Answer

I just do it. A little fussing here and there is okay as long as baby is taken care of and not getting worked up. 
I also do it between my kids bedtime and when I go to bed and their naps.

Answer

I deep clean one room a week. Depending on the week/room it takes longer or shorter. 
Daily, I stay on top of the dishes and laundry. 
I also bribe my kids to help. They are 5,3,1 and they can pick up the living room, their rooms, and sloppily vacuum. 
Honestly, I stop cleaning once our bedtime routine starts. If something wasn't cleaned then I'll do it the next day. 🤷 
I used to be a crazy bleach the house person and now I'm happy if my counters are clean. 
This is a phase and will pass! Embrace the mess lol.

Answer

If she’s fed, dry, and safe I’ll let her fuss if it happens. Sometimes it just has to happen and I know she’s ok
