This may seem like mundane nonsense but I am 34 with two children 8 and 11. I cannot seem to manage my housework, washing, sorting, budgeting....I could go on. Up until 2 years ago I worked full time and I thought it was because I was too busy to do it all, now I am not at work and its no better.
I have paperwork everywhere and bits of junk loading up draws and pots and bookcases etc etc. I go to other peoples houses in awe. It isnt that I am sat on my behind all day but I can never find the time and when I do have the time the task seems so mammoth...I'm talking EVERY ROOM that I get disheartened and distracted. And then I think to myself...is it really that important at the end of the day, a tidy house? And then Im frantically looking for clean socks in the mornings feeling like I am going completely mad. Trying to get the dcs to do anything even for money is a massive uphill struggle. I was invited to one of the mums from schools house the other day and I should invite them back here but Im worried I will be gossip of the school and the kids will be teased as they have been before about the way we live. Dont get me wrong, its not a health hazard here! Please tell me Im not alone in this domestic hell.
