I think my house is quite clean and it gets tidied up each day. But I never seem to be able to just relax and enjoy a clean tidy house iyswim? Like today on a cold Sunday I'd like to just be able to put my feet up and watch a film with the kids or play some games, but everything is to be done or so it feels.
I work part time and have two days off a week, but those days I'm at home with a toddler who doesn't nap anymore.
On my days off I get up, put a load of washing on, get ready and take older kids to school then I go out in the morning with the toddler, to stay and play or to the park and shops. My afternoon is then spent cleaning, but this is not an easy task with the little one who is into everything. but I managed to hoover all of the upstairs, dust everywhere and clean the bathroom. This is alongside the usual washing loads, dishwasher, making lunch and dinner, bins, recycling and so on.
All the floors downstairs still need doing, sweep and mop but it seems pointless and impossible at weekends with everyone in and out, the kids toys everywhere. The hob needs a clean but will be cooking shortly anyway.
Despite doing the bathroom on Friday you'd never know it had been done now.
I'll clean the floors this evening no doubt, but the dining room will be minging again by Tuesday because the kids drop food.
It just drives me mad.
