I have so much to do around the house today. I also have a lot of work to do because yesterday I basically took the day off. And my head was hurting after our trip out of town. So my husband and I watched a movie and went to bed. I feel like I'm able to really focus on work when my house is organized and up to par. I have laundry to do, dishes, putting things in their place, and Sweeping and mopping. How do you feel about getting your house in order? Is it in order right now like you would like it to be?

Cleaning is a never ending process especially for us guys. It’s easier to eat and pile up dishes until there is none left before doing the cleaning. My mother doesn’t even visit my house. She said she will do so the day I get married. Can you believe that

Lol. I have experienced that happening before. We often times wait until the dishes are all piled up. Well hopefully your mother will visit your home before you get married. How does she know that you even plan to get married.

My house is never in order the way I want it. I am here all the time, but unfortunately the man I married feels it is not his job to do housework, so it is left on me. I would love to have a spotless house with everything in a place, but we have too much stuff and no where to store it.

I understand what you are saying. There is always something that needs to be arranged, put away or cleaned. My husband for the most part doesn't help with house work unless I really insist that he does something. Then he will do it because he knows if he doesn't I will get upset. For example I like my house to be in order when company comes. My in laws usually stop by early saturday morning or early afternoon. So then he can help around the house that day. Another example is when his brother stops in three times a week or more when they go the gym together. When I see that my husband has been playing video games for hours (and I know there is still a ton of other stuff that can be done) I let him know that he should help. Or when he gets under my skin by saying something to the effect of the trash stinks or we don't have any clean dishes then I tell him that he can do something about it if I'm not getting to it fast enough. I too would love a spotless house. But it seems like no matter how hard I try there is just always something that messes or disorganizes it within a few hours of my hard work.

Yeah it can be very frustrating. With the nicer weather though it's giving me a better attitude about it. When the sun is shining I can open up the windows and let the sunlight in. And I can go aside and hang up some cloths. So that is helping me a great deal.

It is a never ending process and actually a bit hard when other occupants in the house didn't do their chores. There's always clothes in the laundry baskets, dusts to sweep and dishes to wash. Okay so there's washing machine but we still need to hang up the clothes. Plus some clothes need to be handwash. We also don't have dishwasher and the broom definitely won't move by itself. Things are definitely easier when chores were divided equally instead of one woman job.

I agree with you. I'm the only one who does chores around the house and it can be frustrating as time. Because I'm often picking up after my husband. Sometimes he ask me questions that annoy me and I let him know that he can do whatever chore he thinks needs done or if the clothes aren't washed because having a little help would be nice. After all he isn't that busy when he gets home.

hi there,
i too always have a lot to do always. i never let anyone do my laundry even if mom tells the maid to do it, i get mad because i take very good care of my clothes, especially my underwear, i only wash them with mild soap.
i am also always so tired because i travel to school for my papers and that is about an hour and a half from here so sometimes, i don't get to them anymore, and just do it when i have time.
i remember when i was staying with my sister, i would clean the house all day because of my nephew heheheh but it's okay because he is only a kid and i love him very much.

Yeah when we are picky about the way we want things done it is best for us to do it ourselves. Sometimes I think that my husband does certain things to slow so it would be better if I just went ahead and did it. Yeah I know with my daughter I often have to pick up after her all the time.

Yeah I agree with you it's nice to come home to a clean and tidy house. I know that it bugs me when I'm working and see that things are disorganized. I can focus better on getting other things done when my house is the way I like it.

Yeah I know what you mean. Things get out of place so easily. I find it very difficult to keep up with everything especially when I'm the one who has to reorganize everything after someone has moved it. I'm always finding socks, here and there or cups and plates. I would really like everything to be in it's place for the next day. But things rarely happen that way.
