I want to give up!

It is almost impossible to get any time to clean and when I do get to clean it's just as messy 5 minutes later :ph It's so frustrating. I'm ready to just throw in the towel and live in the mess :impouting

I KNOW!!!:hug2

[blondie]

I feel ya. :hug

:hug2 With littles ones, it does seem impossible at times. I just keep telling myself that I'm modeling good habits for them, and as they get older, I delegate out more jobs. :wink

I've done a lot of decluttering but it still feels like we have so. much. stuff!

[LikeQuietDreams]

I'm right there with you.

[crunchymum]

:hug TOTALLY feel like this right now!


One thing that helps me is having entire rooms that are "kids stuff free zones". :shifty like I stopped putting toy storage in all the rooms because they just get dumped out. Right now laundry baskets are my friends to save my sanity - in fact I'm about to go grab one right now and zoom through my downstairs dumping everything that doesn't belong into them. :shifty it may not be a long term solution, but it will help me keep my sanity for today. :yes

I hear ya. A friend of mine posted a meme on FB yesterday that said, "Cleaning with children in the house is like brushing your teeth while eating oreos"

So spot on! :lol

That's what I do... and then every day or so I dump them out when the kids are away and put every thing in them away.

That said, i'm feeling super frustrated right now... the 1 year old - I feel like I got used to 2 kids making messes- the extra mess thanks to the busy busy busy baby :hissyfit

:sigh

I understand. :(
