OMGosh im sick of it. I clean daily, having 3 kids who love to make a mess sends me batty. I start at one end of the house then work my way down.

By the time i get to the other end and feel good thats its all done....its a mess again at the other end Evil or Very Mad

I say im going to chuck toys in the bin and my 2 and 3yo start getting garbage bags Confused

Id love to clean of a night once they are in bed....but by then im over picking up and putting away.

The kids and DH sit and watch me clean til i loose it then DH comes and helps....usually the easy tasks like taking rubbish out, packing the dishwsher or maybe sticking some clothes on to wash.

i never feel motivated till some one comes over. i love to live in a clean house but working full time plus overtime plus trying to spend quality time with Brodie i don't have much me time. i want that time to relax not clean as i go slightly off tap if i don't relax a bit.
i should have a day though where i do all the hard stuff like bathroom, kitchen etc instead of just general clean up, i think that would make me feel better.
Brodie room is so hard to keep clean! i want to let him play with his toys and make a mess but its getting ridiculous. i think we need to start a pre bed time ritual of cleaning his room together every night.
hope you work something out, must be so hard with 3 littlies, i dont know how you do it.

I know what you mean.

It's amazing how much mess kids can make and when you add a DH to the mix it's even worse.

OMG tell me about it. Also worse when your living with IL's, nothing against them... it just feels like you have to clean that little bit more.
