How to have a clean house with 3dc

[Shaz2011]

I have 3dc aged 7,2,6months & I can't seem to get the house organised, clean & tidy & my dh is on my back about it all the time he is due to start a new job soon which is night work so he will be sleeping during the day so I will need to learn to do it all by my self can anyone help me please

Well I also have 3DC and DC4 due next year - my house isn't tidy but pretty clean most of the time.

With this many children trying to keep the house tidy and clean is like trying to shovel snow while it is snowing! Unless you completely ignore all of your children and solely focus on cleaning of course.

My Dh only seems to make comments about mess when he is stressed - I tell him to piss off and clean it himself if he is not happy!

My dh just sits around & expects me to do everything even when I do work my arse of he just says to me what have u done all day sit on your arse watching tv this is while he is in bed till 11-12-1 & than plays xbox all day

i don't think your problem is housework tbh.

i suggest strongly that you find something really important to do at the weekends (or apparently during the day if he is unemployed at present) that requires no children at all, and feck off and do it. it's time he learned how to be a parent and a partner. he's an adult, not your fourth child. and you are his wife, not his slave or his mother.

Oh Esselle I have a magnet with that phrase on

OP, have you tried Flylady? It's a bit twee and odd in places, but it does work! There's a few threads on here about it - just don't sign up for emails!

Thanks girls I agree sometimes about dh but he should be starting work in the next week or so, so I am going to have to learn to juggle housework & being a parent to all dc
