I have a 3 year old and 4 month old, but I keep on top of cleaning and housework because I find it easier. Otherwise, it'll all pile up and il be stressed out. I also like a tidy house that also stresses me out I feel so much better in myself when Jon's are done and the house is clean and tidy. We get toys out then when we are finished we put them away so I don't end up with one big mess haha
i try to keep toys picked up because it’s just too much when they’re all over the place. but i definitely slack on other things 😅
I keep up with my house because it makes me feel better and my husband also appreciates a clean house so we both do our part. He works sales so is home half the day and we just clean as we go. My 4yo monster truck collection is usually arranged into a Monster Jam competition on the living room floor though lol
My house is a mess most of the time. And I'm constantly cleaning it. And boom it looks like I did nothing. I think most moms have this problem and your not alone. I fall behind on things like laundry and my laundry has steps it's not off the line and in the cupboard it in a big basket then folded on the bed in the room they belong sometimes toasted on a chair refolded then in the cupboard when I get annoyed coz I can't find anything and IV ended up dressing the kids in rainbow coloured clothes and socks that don't match for school . I can do dishes now and the sink is full again and packing them away is also optional. They get used before it necessary. So when I get a moment to sit and do nothing I do take it. You can take the time to look at something till it bothers you. I try and install systems to make things easier but chaos is the theme of my home mostly. And I can spring clean it take my kids about a hour to undo once they get home. I would never but I also understand homes that have gone toyless
I have 2 under 2. Well they’re nearly 3 and nearly 2 now but they are FULL ON 🤣 I’ve sent them to nursery 2 mornings a week since September and they are the ONLY days I get to keep on top of my cleaning, tidying, washing etc. I can’t do anything with them in the house (well I could but it wouldn’t be a proper job as they love to be involved). Before they went to nursery I would do everything in a few hours when my husband was off work and could take the kids for an afternoon or something. I don’t know how people do it as single mums/full SAHM 😬👏🏼
I've got 4 kids. My youngest is 7. I have to clean and tidy a couple of hours of the day to keep it looking ok and it never stays tidy for long. I think if I wasn't a stay at home mum my house would definitely be a mess. It's normal though, you do have to drop your standards slightly when you have a house full of kids x
We’re a disaster at all times lol as soon as I put something away it’s back out 🤦♀️
I don’t slack on house work bc my anxiety doesn’t allow me to but my house is still messy with the exception of after nap time and after bed time. So basically when the kids are not around and I clean up. Laundry is my biggest issue to keep up with. I’ll have a little pile of clean clothes here, another little pile there. 😅
