How can I maintain my house verbs?????? I try so hard to save my house clean but its other...

I try so hard to save my house clean but its other a mess I do have a 2 yr outmoded and a 4 yr old so I dont expect it to be spotless but I would approaching to not have to be embarassed if a neighbor drops by unexpectly. It seem like its a vicious cycle. I'll work myself to the bone for 1 or 2 hours of daylight to get it spotless and deal with to maintain it for a week or 2 and consequently BAM something happens whether its a sick child (or me) a crazy weekend of soccer games or birthday party, etc and it all seem to go down the drain. By later the house is a mess (and I mean pretty bad) and I enjoy no motivation to clean it up because its such a mess. Eventually It piles up untill I hold no choise to clean it and the cycle starts over again. It doesnt give a hand that my 2 yr is at the age he likes to mess up every entity I clean (we engender him help clean) and constantly is spill stuff on the ground (we are trying to transition him from a sippy cup) How can I stop this cycle I really do try unyielding I just appear to get no where on earth
Answers:    Oh man...it sounds like you entail some help! I'm assuming you're a stay-at-home-mom? (Or should I enunciate a WORK at home mom...since that's seriously all we do!)

Here's what I would suggest... Spend the rest of this evening working on a clear and concise cleaning mission list. Break it down by days of the week, such as Monday: Kitchen, Tuesday: Bathroom, Wednesday: Laundry Day, Thursday: Bedrooms, Friday: Dusting...etc.

Hire a child sitter for later on this week so you can lift the entire day supercleaning your house so you can start near a 'clean slate.'

Once your house is verbs and your cleaning schedule is surrounded by place, make sure you attain your daily obligation done, then promise yourself that you'll spend at smallest 1/2 hour each time doing the general cleaning (mopping up spilled liquid, vacuuming the crushed cherios out of the carpet, loading the dishwasher next to the millions of plastic cups your kids go through contained by a day, etc.). You'll be amazed how much you can catch done in 1/2 hour. Your kids will also start getting used to you taking that 1/2 hour to verbs and they can certainly chip surrounded by, too.

One thing my exceedingly wise grandma (who raise 8 kids) taught me be...."Whatever you take out to play near, put it away when you're done." um...DUH! But she makes a apposite point! If you get the letters in, shift through it right away! If you get out a plate of food, rinse it and put it within the dishwasher as soon as you're done. If your dishwasher is full of clean dishes and you are tempt to throw that dirty dish in the sink, whip the 3 minutes to unload the clean dishwasher. I know it sounds really silly and simple, but if you reflect on about it, clutter/mess is purely sitting there because we don't want to 'put it away when we're done beside it.' Hopefully, once you get into the swing of things, your kids will follow suit.

I really discern for you. I know you feel overwhelmed and I've totally be in like peas in a pod position. Even if my advice doesn't work, I really hope SOMEthing does. And even if you can never procure it done, I hope you realize that being a mommy is more offensive than anyone even admits....and you're doing a great commission!!
