Do some women still feel guilty if their house is not clean and tidy?

im in the 30-35 range and yes i feel if things are not constantly picked up around the house, things just go down hill from there, the kids think its okay to leave everything around and even my husband wll leave stuff around, but if things are always in thier place, i think the guilt falls more on them to keep things nice

yah..i cant sleep with a messy house...i want all things in a proper place or organize..if i will enter the room i can relax well if it is clean and organize..im very hot temper person f everything's are in not proper places..i will explode!!!

Yes I always like to have my House clean to and fortunatly both my Kids like it Tidy to as they do clean their Rooms I a fall in the same age group as you

Yes I do feel guilty if my house is not clean. I feel that my husband goes out and works everyday, so the least I could do is have a clean and tidy house for him when he comes home.

i'm 38, i work out all day and sometimes it is impossible for me to clean the house... but i feel not guilty. i try to do my best!

no, I think that things won't change, I'm 20, and I feel the same...:) I think this is, because we are women..we like to keep tidy, and we think that this is our problem. Anyway if somebody sees your house untidy, they will think that you are too lazy to do it. My mother worked almost all they, and she did all the housework alone...maybe this is the reason, why I feel like this...:)

I am 24. I am a stay at home mom of two young kids. I am messy by nature so cleaning is very difficult for me. I rarely clean and straightening up- I won't even go there! I feel very guilty for not doing much around the house. I get yelled at a lot for not doing anything. I also have a bad habit of getting distracted. For instance, I will drop my son off at kindergarten (pm since we are late to rise in the morning) and when I get back home I will say to myself, "ok, I have to clean this, get rid of that and do this..." Then I will see something on the computer or tv that interest me, or my daughter will demand more of my time than I had expected and I won't be able to do what I had planned. Then I lose my drive to do what I had orginally planned and then 330pm comes around. Time to pick up my son and hubby comes home. Nothing is done and he is angry. I really do feel bad but it feels like I am in a rut and cannot fix it.

Yes I do feel guilty about it sometimes, but it depends what mood I'm in, what I've been doing all day and what the others have been doing too, it I've been in all day and they've been at school and work, I do feel guilty, but I suppose that's fair enough, I always make sure my house is clean and it doesn't bother me too much if it's not absolutely tidy, as long as we can all sit down in the sitting room and still feel comfy I don't think they mind either. I do try and make sure my washing up is done during the day though, but I always seem to have an endless supply of it coming through the floor or something, I think my 'cleaning fairies' have got it the wrong way round! :) (I'm in the 25-35 age group).

I don't feel guilty, even though I'm home more, I tidy up and then people come home from work and just mess it up again, so I get fed up and try to get other people to tidy up too, but I end up doing it all, so I don't have chance to feel guilty about not doing it, cos it always gets done, unless I'm ill.

I'm 24. No, I don't feel guilty. He can clean it if he doesn't like it LOL.

i am 23 my husband is 30. normally we both work but i am 9 months pregnant right now and well can't work. even though i am home all day and he works he still does his part in the house. which is laundry and the bathrooms. i have been helping out with the laundry but he still does the bulk of it. and as far as the bathrooms he made that choice a long time ago. my deal was he puts the seat down and i clean or i put the seat up and he cleans. people that know me think its funny because i am the only woman in the world that puts the seat UP! i dont feel guilty about not doing every thing and you should not either.

i would very angry at my husband if i was working all day and he was at home and didn't tidy up the house. Trust me, my marriage went down the tubes because I worked 10 hour days 5 days a week and my husband didn't work at all and our son was in daycare and I would get home and the house was a mess and he wanted me to cook dinner yet, well that didn't fly with me

I feel guilty if the house is messy. I also feel guilty when my husband offers to "help" I just feel like I should keep it clean. I can't stand a filthy house.

I am 40 yrs old and I work out of my home and I did feel guilty when hubby would come home and things werent' done but it was because i had gotten really busy with my business, so now I hire someone to come in twice a wk to do the housework and that is my luxury to myself, and I make sure I pay for it out of what i make.

I don't normally feel guilty. I am the one who is at home but I have the children to look after so it's not like I spend all the time doing nothing. Sometimes if my partner is at work in the evening and the kids are in bed, I feel a bit guilty if I don't do anything but I usually do anyway. Although, when he doesn't help when he is here, I don't see why I should feel bad about not tidying up when most of it is his mess anyway and he doesn't clean up after himself. I think if he wasn't so lazy then I might feel a bit guilty if the house was still messy but then, if he wasn't so lazy, the house wouldn't be so messy because he wouldn't just leave his stuff lying around in the first place.

I am the same. My daughter calls me a neat freak. I at least like to have the beds made, washing up done and the floors clean throughout the day. I have learned as my children get older that there is a difference between untidiness and dirty though..

Well I am only 20 years old, and when my house isn't clean I just don't feel right. I am a clean freak, though. I do all the housework in our home including cooking, laundry, cleaning, and take care of my daughter. My husband changes a diaper now and then, but that's about it. I don't mind, though!

women still feel guilty if their house is not clean and tidy
