Yes I know. I try to clean my house but I find that when my husband comes in he just places his stuff right in the middle of the floor and places his work clothes on the floor right next to the clothes hamper.
Between him and my daughter, after a while I just give up. The house becomes a mess again. I feel bad sometis when he comes in because I am a housewife and isnt that what housewives are supposed to do, clean the house and have dinner ready when the hubby gets home?
I get depressed after a while when the dishes begin to pile up, the clothes are getting away from me and no dinner done.
My husband has been really nice lately but I am tired. I know that something has got to give. My house isnt really nasty as it is cluttered. OMG when we get back from trips the bags stay in the living room for at least a week.
But I will make a special effort to go ahead and wash those dirty clothes and place the clean ones in the drawers.
He did tell me that I was a great wife and mother in the midst of the mess. He only had to move two pillows and three glasses to get over to me and give me a kiss.

Hi there. Im married and we have 2 children, and loads of others at times, with this, I gotta say, Im a clean freak lol, I feel much better having a clean house, I can think, I can do alot of other things and confidently know our is clean, I get to read a book and relax... Personally speaking One thing I cant stand is an un-organised house, with mail, clothing here and there, washing waiting to be done, just simple mess, I cant stand it and it never happens in our house. In saying this, I can go to friends homes, who are less house proud and I can totally feel comfortable in there surroundings, un-organised or not... Strange but very true...

I try and keep things as neat as possible. I mean, I don't obsess over cleaning or anything. I clean what needs cleaned and leave the rest alone. I mean, sometimes I leave things be, and let clutter pile up, but when something really needs it, it gets cleaned.

I'm definitely a junky. LOL I've never been a very neat person, but with two boys now cleaning is near impossible. I keep the house livable, but toys and clothes and the such always seems to be strung out.

I wasn't a clean freak until now. I am such a clean freak with my new location now. I clean everyday. I even cover my bed in plastic so that dust won't come inside. I clean my washroom everyday and disinfect it. I don't know, maybe it comes with age. Or maybe, I'm just excited about this new place.
