To think it is easy to keep your home clean?

[Ohwell14]

Providing you are able bodied obviously

If you have no husband, kids or pets then yes it's easy.

I’d rather read a book in the garden. Can’t see the crap from out there.

If you have no husband, kids or pets then yes it's easy

Well, not if your husband pulls his weight. If mine created extra cleaning work for me we’d be having serious words!

In the days of yore when I had two under 4, 5, etc, I made if clear I could do clean or tidy, not both. My preference was clean; DH's tidy. We got a cleaner

Cleaning the house while kids are growing is like shovelling snow while it's still snowing...

Your prioritise having a sparkly clean home. Others prioritise work commitments, school runs, after school activities, dinner prepared and served, a bottle (or two) of wine to unwind once the kids have stopped demanding and settled to sleep....once the dog has been walked of course....

Your ideal isn't everyone's ideal OP. Some people struggle to get out of bed in the morning due to physical or mental illness. Each to their own....

You have a sparkling, clean house. Good for you

This .....

No my priority is my family

Yes, it is easy to keep clean since the DC left home, but life’s too short to spend it cleaning. I’d rather pay someone and and go for dinner or to the theatre instead. Life’s also too short to be a smug cow

That’s too bad for you. My priority is chocolate and pizza. I think I’ve picked the better option. 🍕 🍫

Who said my house is clean, this could be a reverse to make myself feel better for living in a mess

No one cares about your house OP. No one at all. Posting some smug post to make yourself feel good about the fact you wiped a loo is really quite goady. Good for you. Well done. Your eulogy will be fab. Stop attempting to put others down its only reflecting badly on you.

Very bad form if it is a reverse. Which it isn't as you're now looking to dig your arse out of the goady bitch hole.

Messy DH
Messy 4 year old
Messy 3 year old
Messy 1 year old
Messy me
House that's way to bloody small
Equals the grand sum total of...
Too bloody tired to care.

Yeah you’re trying to dig yourself out now.

Love that you haven’t answered me re MH difficulties being relevant since you only say able bodied.

2/10

I fail too see how I put anyone down if your house is a mess it's your choice if your house is clean it's your choice. Each to their own. I was simply asking a question

No. You weren’t. You were being a goady fucker. HTH.

I work 7 days a week 8-5 and have done for the last 7 months, I have 3 kids, a dog and a husband who works away a lot I have 4 months off in the winter and my main mission is to clean my house, it is an absolute shit hole!! My house is tidy and the basics are cleaned regularly but look closely and it's filthy, so no it is not easy to keep my home clean!! Maybe if you have a studio flat it's possible but for me not a chance...

I apologise for not including mental health difficulties, i should of said if there is nothing preventing you from cleaning instead of able bodied

YABU. And sanctimonious.

Yeah ok of course you were. Please stop. You're embarrassing yourself now.

I don't know, you might be right, I never cared enough to try.

"simply asking a question" of course you were.

Haha ok then. I never said it WAS a reverse either. Just that you have no idea if my house is clean or not. So no one knows if I need a medal
