How messy is your house right now? BE HONEST

Upstairs is fine, just needs vacuuming.
Downstairs is ok, I have vacuumed and dusted, the kitchen is tidy but dh’s crap is all over the dining room table- if I had realised what an untidy, undomesticated individual he was I probably wouldn’t have married him. He doesn’t see dirt, dust etc, doesn't ‘do’ housework 🤬

My house is spotless and tidy and dust free....first time in I don't know.....dh and I spent all Saturday doing it as I had a friend coming to stay...if you asked me what it looked like Saturday morning...untidy, dusty, piles of washing...this weekend sunny weather been amazing for drying... Not sure I like the spotless house though...it soul less...I give it a day till normal house untidy returns

Messy/tidy or clean?
It's a bit messy but I wouldn't be embarrassed if someone called round unannounced.
It's quite clean because we have a cleaner every week.
Probably 8/10

I hoovered the stairs last week for th first time in about six months (I know, I know) and there is no room that is clear. Stuff absolutely everywhere. I hate it, but I'm so used to it now that it doesn't bother me.

When I didn't have children I lived a clean and tidy lifestyle. I just can't cope tidying up after these little tornadoes anymore.

We also have way too much stuff and no storage, which doesn't help 🤣

Umm organised chaos really. It's not dirty or unkept but it has a lot of "stuff" that come with two teenagers who are in to sport. The weather doesn't help when we are all feeling a bit more inside than out.
I heard my daughter once describe our home to a friend as "It's a bit like Weasley's house in Harry Potter without the magic". I'm hoping she meant homely and a bit of chaos, she often describes her Dads house as "sterile" due to it being so clean and spotless.

One end of the dining room is like Widow Twankey’s wash house. It’s all young adult DC’s clothes as I refuse to iron them anymore. They are precariously balanced on the end of the ironing board, and have been for weeks. It’s passing me right off.
Everywhere else is tidy, but a bit cluttered. I could have done with mopping downstairs today but will now have to wait until midweek. Bathroom and kitchen cleaned thoroughly (apart from kitchen floor) on Saturday and everywhere else hoovered & pretty tidy, but there is dust on the sideboard in the hall. I’ve spent the weekend mowing, hedge trimming and weeding instead of doing indoors.

An absolute mess. I should be packing up boxes for imminent house move!!! We still haven’t sorted out where we are going. Have loads of paperwork to tidy and get done for tomorrow. Can’t be bothered. Kitchen is a mess and surrounded by boxes.?

The living room and downstairs bathroom are clean and tidy, the kitchen is clean but everywhere else is a bloody mess.

I feel like I've washed, dried and put away a hundred loads of laundry over the last 3 days but somehow there's still more to do.

It never ends.

It’s all right if you don’t look too closely. I follow my mum’s maxim - if the beds, the bathroom and the kitchen are clean the rest doesn’t matter too much.

Not horrendous
I just made cottage pie so a load of clean dishes!
But one persons tidy is another's messy so...

No kids in the house, but I wouldn't be happy if I had to host someone without at least a day's warning. We do have two dogs, though to be fair I can only blame them for a few toys, their constantly shedding coats, and sometimes dirt tracked in on their feet (but the floors are good at the moment).

So I guess we only have ourselves to blame for the clutter and mess. I just don't feel like working my fingers to the bone when we don't have visitors often and DH cares even less than I do. It's such thankless work!

I like a clean house, but I guess I like free time and my hobbies more. Occasionally I think up systems that might keep it in better order, but something always comes along to distract me or complicate life to the point that it never lasts (or even happens). Eh, it's good enough!

Tidy. The kitchen is part way through cooking supper but otherwise, the house is ok.

I deep cleaned the bathroom yesterday and cleared the ironing pile. The clothes washing is all done.

The only thing that still needs doing is I need to change my bed.
I can't put the sheets in to wash because it's pouring with rain and I won't be able to hang them out. That bit can wait.

Dusted and cleaned bedrooms and bathroom earlier but whole house needs hoovering and kitchen floor needs mopping. Might do it later but if I don't, nevermind!

It's very clean. We spent 4 hours on it yesterday and another 2 today. Looking g lovely

Honestly it’s an absolute shit tip!

Kitchen needs a good deep clean, my delightful children made lunch and the sides a littered with knives, plates, random food items left out! The floor needs mopping due to the rain and the dogs running in and out…Dh has just done the washing up. I have around 6 loads of laundry to do 🤷‍♀️

Lounge is semi passable, I need to run the Dyson around and straighten up the throws and cushions.

Upstairs (kids bedrooms mainly) look like a bomb site…

Bathrooms are again passable but I need to get the lime scaler remover out and give it a proper deep clean and steam clear the grout! The shower screen is awful even though I only did it 2 weeks ago the hard water here is just an absolute nightmare…

So yeah it’s pretty fucking awful

Shit hole.
I have too much stuff and not enough space.
I have spent the last 3 days sorting bin/charity/sell/keep. Got rid of about 10 bags, but it really is just a drop in the ocean for how much I need to do.

Treating myself now though and painting my bedside tables as a reward!

It's clean and tidy, it always is.

I don't see why realistic has to mean dirty or untidy. Some people keep their houses clean and some don't, being "realistic" means accepting both sides of that.

Honestly? It’s spotless. It normally is. I don’t have small children, or a lot of clutter.

I find it really difficult to function in an untidy space so keep on top of it.

That doesn’t make me a better person than anyone else so you shouldn’t feel that you’re a bad person just because your home isn’t always as tidy as others you’ve seen.

Negatives:
-I have too much stuff, it's EVERYWHERE, so my house never looks tidy due to piles all over the place

This

The sitting room isn't the worst it's been- I can see quite a lot of floor. Everywhere else could probably do with a fair bit of tidying/cleaning/dusting, but TBH I don't care that much- I've lived long enough to know that a) no matter how often you dust, it'll just get dusty again tomorrow; b) there are always more interesting things to do; c) so long as it's not an actual health hazard no-one will die; and d) no-one made interesting conversation about the dishes they washed.

That's not to say I don't enjoy a good tidy and clean- I do, but I don't stress when it reverts to 'normal' again.

Downstairs isn’t too bad. It’s tidy but does need a good hoovering and mopping, the living room needs dusting and the windows in the internal doors are covered in finger prints but it’s generally tidy. Just needs actual cleaning.

Bedroom wise - mine is tidy but I stripped the bed this morning and need to remake it. Dd19’s room is always tidy, dd16’s room and dd9’s room are absolute shit tips. I can’t be arsed making them tidy up today, it can wait. And all the carpets need to be hoovered too.

And finally, the bathroom is okay. Again, needs a bit of a wipe over, more so the shower than anything else but it’s passable.

Apart from the two gross bedrooms, the rest of the house could be sorted within 1.5 hours but I’m too comfy sitting and will do it another day.

Mine is a terrible mess. I have adhd and I'm overwhelmed about work at the moment, the house is usually one of the first things to go. The kitchen and bathroom are always kept clean. I can't say that I worry that much about the rest of it.

I have 5 kids aged 15-20 living here plus an immature husband who lives like a teenager;I've given up;who only person who cleans is me;I have to clean for 7 people and no one gives a shiny shit about cleaning up after themselves despite me relentlessly attempting to implement boundaries.

My house is a messy shithole right now and I'm sometimes contemplate moving out and leaving the messy buggers to it.

I feel like I've cheated here in that we just had the bathroom done so it looks bloody brilliant as kids haven't had chance to clutter/wreck it yet

Also we had cleaner come on friday & then were away with family all weekend so again, less mess than usual

Yet

There is still just stuff about the place, a big pile of papers & stuff all over the kitchen worktop, lego models on window sills, crap unfinished artwork the kids come from school with & don't want me to bin.

Kitchen cupboard doors don't get wiped that often/unless we notice obvious marks so they are probably grim if we look close up

Ours was tidied this morning before our lovely cleaner came. Now it's both clean and tidy and I would happily have my mother over (which is my bar normally). I did, however, start to sort out my bursting wardrobe and have currently emptied it all on to my bed and then given up and come downstairs because it's all a bit too much.
