I think my issue is I was never really taught good housekeeping skills. Growing up our house was always clean but I never saw how it got that way

That is kind of interesting to me. I always figured that people who grow up in clean homes, just learn by osmosis or something. It is good that we are all trying to figure this out now so that we can teach our kids how to do it. I want my daughter to be more like her dad and not like me. He has never had a hard time keeping things clean. But he always said what made a real impression on him was the summer he and his sisters and brother lived with their grandmother. She had a very strict routine where the kids had to be up by 7, make the bed, come down to breakfast, go upstairs and get cleaned up, do their housechores, and everything had to be finished by 12. After that they had the rest of the day to do whatever they wanted. To this day, my dh is very efficient at doing his work first, play second.
