Does anyone else wonder how people find the time to keep such lovely clean homes 24/7?
There are pets and 2 children in our house, both me and DH work full time and I just feel so overwhelmed.
DH is good, he will help often when he's around but he works long hours and often at the weekend too so naturally most of the housework falls to me simply because I'm there more.
I find that when I've got in from work, done the usual necessary jobs like washing up, cooking tea, putting the washing on etc... I can't find the time to properly clean the house.
Tidying is fine, the house is usually always tidy but it's things like dusting everywhere, mopping floors, cleaning windows, cleaning skirting boards etc...
I'm seriously considering getting a one time cleaner in just to do it properly and then I can keep on top afterwards (or try).
I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle with it constantly.
Whenever I visit my friends home it's always lovely and sparkling clean and I think my God, she must not do anything else but clean because that's what I'd need to do to get my house looking anywhere near that good, it honestly makes me feel like a failure. She doesn't work so she admits that's how she keeps it up but it gets me down every time I think about it.
Anyone else wonder how people do it?!
