CANNOT relax until house is clean & tidy

I woke up sick and my LO is a bit poorly too. Both got cough and colds, my head was splitting and have a runny nose etc. my MIL took my daughter for the day so I can rest … and I know I should … but my house is in serious need of a clean and tidy and I CANNOT relax in my child free time until it’s done 🙈 anyone else feel like they need to be 200% more productive when they don’t have their baby / children? Hubby is good, works from home and helps out when he can like keeping ontop of the washing etc but I find it almost impossible to do anything when my daughter is around because I just want to spend time with her but then when she’s not - I’m supposed to have ‘me time’ but struggle. Anyone else the same? Just a bit of a rant! Haha

Show your support

Yes same! Let me know if you find the cure lol!!

Yep, every time.

For sure! It is hard to relax when you have 200 things that need done.

Exactly the same. Ineed a clean tidy house or it really affects me! I spend most of the time when LO is in bed and I should be relaxing, sorting out the house.

Yep my partner does his fair share and the house is always clean enough, but I have a list of bigger job that can only be done without baby here and theres so much to do. I also study and take driving lessons. When I’m writing assignments my mother takes her for the day and the struggle to just do uni work and not flip the whole house upside down organising stuff is real 🤣

We clean up after meal time so kitchen is tidy before bed

If my house is a mess & I just can't deal with it & need a minute, I sit outside
