Oh you guys have hit a sore spot with this one.
I almost don't want to post here because subscribing will bring it up in my list and remind me of everything I should be doing (did someone mention shame and guilt?!)
I actually have a weekly cleaner (we barter for maths tutoring!), but hours after she's been it's a bomb site again and the night before she comes is a massive headache desperately trying to tidy the junk so she can have a floor to clean!
I just can't seem to make this something that is a habit. If I'm at someone else's house I wouldn't dream of finishing a meal and leaving my plates on the table, yet at home I'm constantly clearing away dinner plates so we have room to eat breakfast
I feel so inferior to all the proper mums who manage to keep house. I sometimes feel like a little kid doing a bad job of pretending to be a grownup
