in Mamas with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders

I hired a house cleaning today for the first time and I am so excited

But also nervous a bit! Because I've got the hidden trenches of my home a messs and I don't usually let anyone see those places! One of the most embarrassing is my master bathroom. I don't even use it anymore it's just so dirty all the time.. my husband only uses it at this point... I periodically try to clean it but it's so anxiety provoking.. along with my husband's side of the bed. Here's a before pic, gonna clear this crap up (like I did just a couple months or so ago and asked him to maintain it LMAO) I'm not trying to trash talk my husband. He's obsessed with working on projects and I'm convinced it's his ADHD and dyslexia that makes cleaning up after himself nearly impossible. But that doesn't mean I gotta be stressed over it all the time! He never wants to pay for a cleaning, but I work full time too, so I'm paying for it today and gonna surprise him when he gets home!!

I'm proud of you for reaching out and doing that! One thing that I've been taught that's possibly helpful is to do 1 or 2 tasks a day like make the bed clear all trash or laundry. Starting small and seeing that accomplished should help snowball it as time goes and over the course of the week it'll all get done

Nicee good for you! It's hard staying on top of everything 😪 I struggle big time

@Kelly Mae thanks! I have been starting to do a couple tasks at a time and my house really has come a long way already! Makes me feel so good that I just want to get the ENTIRE house tackled. Like professionally! Because when it comes to deep cleaning, I'm not the best, never really learned in my house growing up. We kept too busy to clean but every now and then and when we did, it was stressful

@Lexy yes girl! I'm a tired ass b**** 😜😂 I'm in school too and often gotta put the cleaning aside to study instead

@Melissa that's awesome! Keep it going. Maybe then what would be good is to hire for a deep clean 1-2x a month and you just stay up on the basics. I saw you said you were in school as well as full time so completely understand exhaustion just keep it up you're doing great!

@Kelly Mae yes girl thank you for the motivation! I appreciate it so much

My bathroom is really bad too…I kinda let it go tbh and I do clean the toilets but the shower is really dirty.,.I don’t wanna bend down and scrub everything…I’m about to order the power scrubber on Amazon

We have a cleaner come twice a month. It's too much with kids and full time jobs. You deserve it!

@Yasmina you should! That kinda sounds fun going at it with a power scrubber 🤪

@Mee heck yeah it's a great idea!! When I'm not in school, maybe we can afford more often like that
