I'm the first to admit my house isn't spotless, pretty far from it. Tackling some hoarding type issues (although mild) and have a fair few pets roaming around.
With a toddler and a new baby it's just totally neglected. I do the basics (laundry/pots) but when I go to other people's homes in comparison it definitely looks mucky or unkempt.
I don't work but always prioritise stuff with the kids rather than dusting, etc. Am I being scruffy? Maybe when they're in school I'll get more on top of things but by the time they go to bed I want to as well If I can tackle my mini mountains of "stuff" then I think I'll hire a cleaner because I would like a clean house.... But in my mind I need to treasure every moment while my kids are still kids
I'm ok in other ways, I make proper meals from scratch and stuff (There's an ongoing joke that I season my meals with dog hair, but it's a husky thing, I hoover the living room twice a day!) But I'll only.do upstairs once a weekish coz they aren't allowed up there. I just feel like life is too short to spend so long cleaning. I told my family I bleached the loo once a week/fortnight and they said they did their's daily and I'm basically a bit minging Am I? Lol (Prepares for the worst)
