trying hard to maintain the tidiness in the house....

Keeping the house tidy all the time is every mom's dilemma.Most especially that school is out, so kids are always at home and would be grabbing on ti things and putting them everywhere. I am tired of having to go through them all the time. So sometimes, I end up raising my voice so that they cold fix their mess.

I can just imagine your home being immaculate my friend, and I know the cleanliness will be a high priority. I am very house proud and I found it a total nightmare with my ex who was the exact opposite, I was forever cleaning up after them, fortunately I wasn't working at the time otherwise I don't know when I would have found time to clean and wash and tidy up. The house never stayed tidy for long and it was a never ending battle! And yet I got no thanks for it, it's a thankless task.

I live alone and my flat is always disorderly. The flat is always dust free though. I am bare feet in my house so i make sure the floor is always spotless. It is not only the floor, because once I started cleaning then I also get to see the dust on the shelves and everywhere. No matter how quick I should prepare to go to work in the morning, I also make sure that the kitchen sink is very clean and dry. My bathroom has to always be clean too. Because i know all the corners of the house are dustless then I am so confident to throw my clothes anywhere. I don't like eating in the dining room so I eat on the sofa on the floor or even on my bed. Every time I got guests in my house, I tell them that my house is a mess and they'd be surprised to see that it is so clean so what am I worrying about. A girl had to stay once in my flat when I was away for a month. She just slept over for a night. I left my key to a friend and told him he could do anything with it. A female friend of his that i also knew needed it. I was so embarrassed when I knew she stayed there. But she just said, it was not a mess at all. But she fixed my bed and some of my clothes piled up on the kitchen chairs to give room for her to sit. She even tuned my guitar. Sweet girl. I wished she didn't have a boyfriend.:)

Oh goodness I try so hard to keep my house clean but with 3 kids, 2 dogs, a husband and a Childcare Business it is VERY difficult!! Its a lot of work to keep my house clean with everything that goes on here! I do clean every day, but when the end of the day comes sometimes it doesn't look like I did anything all day! Drives me crazy...

I'm not a constant cleaner, so for me it's kind of hard. I'm messy and I'm busy, so I usually make order and clean up the whole thing once a week... twice if I feel super orderly :D.

I like to have my house in neat and tidy condition. We have no helper in the house but we maintain it clean and tidy. It is very comfortable living in a clean and tidy house. But, it takes a lot of effort to maintain it.

When I was still newly-married, yes. I had all the time after work, to clean and tidy-up our condo. That went on for about a year. Then I got pregnant, then I had all these complications, I could no longer keep up with my hubby's mess. Then the baby came. I was losing sleep. Then the baby got bigger and bigger. And as my baby grew, so did the mess. So..... oh well!
