Anyone else not a great house-keeper?

I am just plain awful and no matter what I try to do, I can't seem to keep up with the mess! And not to mention the dog hair. I try but I just don't seem to have the knack for this domestic stuff!

Me! I don't really mind it, but I am not good at it.

I made a list this morning, thinking I'd get through all of it, and I didn't even come close. That happens all the time- this stuff takes so much longer than I anticipate. And I really did work for a solid hour and forty-five minutes, no LIF breaks or anything!

Re: Anyone else not a great house-keeper?

I ALWAYS feel like my house is a mess. Everytime I go to someone else's house, I feel depressed when I come home. My kitchen is not done and the painting around the windows is not finished so to me, it looks sloppy. I hate cleaning but LOVE the after effect, even if it only lasts a couple of minutes in my house with a dh, dog, dd and ds!!
I need to invent a self-cleaning house!!

Im SO bad, I tru but never can keep up, we have too much stuff, too much furniture. If and whn I get PG I think We are going to hire an every other week cleaning person...doesnt really cost that much.

I am not at all domestic. I hate cleaning, and the apartment is cluttered. We usually end up doing major cleanings when we know we have company coming!

I feel like I am horrible! It's mostly my fault too. I can't keep on top of everything, and I leave stuff everywhere. Thank God my DH doesn't get annoyed ! Chat Icon

I used to be the best house keeper ever when my son was little. Now that he is a toddler I just can not keep up. I finish one room just to turn around and find it a mess again!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Anyone else not a great house-keeper?

I really don't stress too much about it. We keep the apartment looking nice and my "clutter-stuff" is pretty much left to a few storage closets. My apartment is clean but it does not sparkle.

How much is it to get someone to come in 2x a month, or even 1x a month?

Does anyone have any recommendations? I hope to get DH to agree to this

Re: Anyone else not a great house-keeper?

We hired a clenaing perosn once before my sister's wedding. It was $10 an hour with a 4 hour minimum.

I'm so bad at cleaning, and the worst part is that my mom makes it look so effortless and no matter how hard I try I can never get it the way she gets it. Like she'll ask me to clean the kitchen and I'll do it so I really don't even know what more I couild do, and she'll start yelling that I didn't finish, etc. No wonder I just give up!

Re: Anyone else not a great house-keeper?

I am always cleaning. Everynight when I get home I do one room but end up doing all the rooms because once I start I dont want to stop.

I have noticed if I do a little every day it's really maintance that I do on weekends. The only thing I HATE doing is windows. We are in rainy season and everytime I do the windows it pours Chat Icon
