We live in a general state of "stuff" on most surfaces because I can't be bothered to pick up everything and kids can't be bothered to put one thing away. My hubby is generally much more tidy than the three females in the house - and he's much better at clearing up after a day out ski'ing, or camping, holidaying etc - he just puts everything away, straight away. I would dump in on the floor and get round to it sometime in the next week or two.
We're mostly pretty clean though under all that, somehow. Loos, bathrooms and beds are good (though they don't get made everyday!). I find the best way to clean the house is to invite someone over for dinner. Then I am a pedantic pain in the backside from 9am until they arrive and every single thing gets put away and tidied - and if it doesn't move, it gets bleached! Mostly, I am 'take me as you find me' but a dinner invitation is special! Edit for fledermaus. I don't care if other people's houses are untidy, but if the bathroom for example was grubby or the kitchen was dirty, I'd be really put off. Your messy paperwork just makes me feel comfortable and normal! We're never having another island in the kitchen according to DH as it's a dumping ground for all our 'stuff'. OH is (in my opinion) slightly OCD and likes it all neat and tidy but i think he's realised over the years that 3 kids and 'neat & tidy" don't go together. I like that he is like that, though, as i fear i would let it pile up too much. He's also a great one for putting everything away after a trip skate/ski or camping and has all his papers properly filed away. I'm not a perpetual bleacher, there isn't any aspect of housework that i enjoy doing. I'm of the "a bit of dirt, never hurt" ilk. Life's too short to stuff a mushroom, and all that. But i do it out of necessity. I too would feal uneasy in someone's house if it was like a showhome, but if we had company coming, everything would be cleaned, tidied and bleached (DH likes this;)) Eldest daughter is showing signs of being like DH :thumbsup:(yippee - a free maid;)) |

Re: how much of a slut are you?
We took an oath of homeship when we got married.:D
"A home has to look lived in and not like some builders show house, we shall not tidy up obsessively and we will not make people take their shoes off before they walk on the carpet.":thumbup: However, I do not like seeing skidmarks in the toilet, or coffee stains on the kitchen worktops... :thumbdown: This puts me off even accepting a cup of coffee. When the girls where young little tykes, Jules has been known to pick everything up to hoover the floor then put it all back down so it looks like a home:rofl: |
