Am I the solely stay at home mom bored near cleaning and cooking? Vacuum half a room, go see what toddler is into, dust one...
Vacuum half a room, go see what toddler is into, dust one piece of furniture, little one crying from nap, noodles are boiling and baby requests his bottle, blah blah, I don't mind cleaning but rushing to do it is really draining. I try not to fry any dinners cuz I get interrupted too much.
I have no hypothesis how other moms are so driven to keep the house clean but my hubby's not nearby to watch kids while I clean after dinner or at hand to give a bath.
Why not see if a relative would come over and take the child-
ren out for a touch outing. It would also give some time to get
some things done around the house and impart you a much
needed break. Then do the same for them when they could
use some help.
You have my sympathy, but you do not have to do it adjectives. Brilliant idea about dedicate days to jobs so you have to make tracks things. I would also suggest a gated area (playpen) for your toddler so you can be safe contained by the knowledge he is safe whilst you are contained by a different room. The children can also be left for a few minutes if crying etc as long as they are safe- this will teach them sensible lessons and allow you time to finish things. I am sorry if this sounds a bit patronising it is not meant to be Im a mum myself- and if someone will keep under surveillance the kids for an hour don't spend it doing bloody housework have a long bath or stir out! xx I am a janitor, I feel for you. I am not too fond of cleaning. Some tips that might help you out. Try a slow cooker, you can create a quick and easy feast and have it ready four to eight hours following. Now the cleaning. Get those good quality filter for your home ac, they cost between $4 and $10, that will cut down on the dust in the house tremendously, and good for your form. To save yourself time in the bathroom, use furniture polish (spray), works on mirrors, no streaking, doesn't fog. Shower doors, stops soap rabble build up, same for the tiles and sinks, in the bath and kitchen. Less cleaning. Best of luck.
Peace
Answers: No, your not!
I don't really relish cleaning the same room 5x a day, so what I've gotten into the craving of doing in cleaning one room every day, doing laundry every two days, and picking up toys lone three times a week. I know it might sound like I'm severely lazy, but truthfully no one comes over as we live far away from friends and loved ones (an hour or so) and I know there isn't a change of a stop-in. The rest of the time I spend reading to my son, coloring, playing outside next to him, watching cartoon, dancing, singing, etc.
The path I look at it, if you can live with a little clutter (just as long as it's not dirty, smelly, or uncertain,) than why not enjoy the time you've got near your young children instead of running yourself ragged to hang on to a picture perfect home? The only party it should matter to is you, and if someone wants to run past its sell-by date at the mouth about your house, then they don't own to visit.
After all, the kids are merely young once, and it goes by faster than you reflect. It's worth not washing a load of dishes once surrounded by a while.
clean the house when they are napping - play next to your kids and enjoy your day - beforehand you know it they've grown up and you'll want to remember the fun you had with them when they be little - not cleaning house - and put them to bed early and spend an hour each hours of daylight cleaning - get yourself organized and it will work I feel your tiredness...I enjoy 3 children and often am rushing and trying to do 3-4 things at once..now my children aren't babies here toddlers and a 8 yr old but just one and the same between homework, sleepovers and keeping up with the toddlers come night time I'm so worn out I cant only just sleep from over tired.I try to figure out what has to be done and what can loaf..such as vacumm on mondays, Dust on Tuesday that kind of thing..I hold also including some minor household chores into my 8 yr old's allowence.my hubby works as well so I do 90% of the work like i said spread it apart a couple days and conceivably that will help
Totally agree!! I enjoy become soooo grouchy because of being pulled in so frequent diffrent directions. I couldn't find or have one but is there a teen (11-14) neighbor,clan or friend that you could enlist for help? Even if they sit in the living room next to the babies and watch Barney or some thing for 30 min. or so? Or even a friend or dignified parent just to be in the room while you win a shower, cook, clean ect. Also get youself a crock- pot and use it ! I'd carry the meal ready the hours of darkness before. God Bless and I know it's tough but you are doing the right thing by person home with your kids I will give you my favorite Quote
