Anyone else feel like that about their house? Running it is just impossible right now.
Tiny house with way too much stuff - I know that's our fault. We were ticking over reasonably, but it's all gone to shit in the last year. DH got injured and is in agony, he's now a SAHD while I'm working PT, which is great for me. DH still does a lot - more than he should TBH.
Have decluttered loads and have more stuff to ebay, but no idea when to do it - I really enjoy it, photographing, writing descriptions etc, but there's all the daily stuff to do as well.
How the hell do you do it with 2 DCs (4 and 2) - have tried getting them to join in as a game, sticking DVDs on etc. They just fight or want to play with the one toy I'm tidying. No garden to shove them out into, my parents take them once a month or so for a few hours so we get a bit done but it's more effort than it's worth, no way would I trust them to have them to stay overnight. DH can't take both DCs out ATM, otherwise I'd be able to get loads done. DD will be at school FT after half term but can't afford any nursery place for DS, his funding will kick in next September.
I know what we need to do - just can't seem to do it. We've agreed to do the washing up every morning after the school run, and put laundry on every night. Also going to get a cabinet for the living room as I get discount in the charity shop chain I work for. Also forking out for school dinners to save time and effort. Beyond all that I don't know where to begin. How do you do it when one of you is depressed and the other is in agony.
I don't know why I'm posting really, just hate myself and my life right now so needed a self indulgent rant. DD has already said she hates our house because it's messy. Just what I used to say about my parents' house when I was young - and it's the reason I won't go to my old house, they have rats FFS.
As I said I know what I need to do just don't know how, I feel snowed under. I would love some tips (support threads, websites etc don't really work for me - I tend to lose interest after a few weeks, so I need to do this on my own IYSWIM)
Thanks
