I’m SO frustrated. Over the last three months I was working away from the house for part of the week. And let’s just say the house became unkept. It certainly wasn’t a bomb site. But they all expressed how the state of the house in that state was annoying to them. Dh is particular. He said it was even depressing him! When I came home at weekends I had no interest in doing deep cleans. We could have got a cleaner in but I thought it eas a bit ridiculous tbh.
I am back to being a SAHM (I was helping DH with his business when working away, I used to work in the industry pre kids). And now I have the house back to a pretty immaculate standard everyone is much happier. You’d think I would find this a good thing. But it’s extremely frustrating. Why is my husband so bloody affected by the state of the house? That can’t be normal. The kids are even being nicer to one another. Things just overall feel less tense. The kids are happier too. My youngest said she didn’t enjoy the disorganisation! And I’m thinking have a bit of bloody resilience.
I do like a clean house but I don’t think I’m that anal that I’ve given my kids issues. I’m an easy going person
One of my friends admittedly has a messy house. Stuff everywhere. But they are a happy household. I’m jealous of them. That a bit of mess does fuck up their household.
Are we a bunch of weirdos?
